Maritime workforce
The maritime
industry
at a crossroads
Protecting seafarers and safeguarding trade
The global maritime industry is at a crossroads. As our ships and crews travel
the blue highways of world trade, they keep economies alive. Yet the people who make
this possible are too often overlooked.
Today, the maritime workforce faces a perfect storm of challenges: seafarer
abandonment, criminalisation and unfair treatment, the flags of convenience system,
escalating security threats, and a recruitment and retention crisis that jeopardises
the industry’s future. We must act in a decisive and collaborative way to protect
the people who power the industry.
