We were initially introduced by one of our charterers to the Crew Welfare Self-Assessment. At Chinese Maritime Transport we care about seafarers’ rights and welfare. We’re always trying to improve and believe that the self-assessment is a good way to show our support in protecting seafarers. As soon as the self-assessment was launched, we completed it. The assessment has already provided us with more ideas on the aspects a shipowner should pay attention to. We’ve also already made changes to our processes, including replacing the traditional grievance report with an online survey, through which every seafarer is encouraged to express their complaint or suggestions directly to the management.
