Keeping the Crew Engaged in Trying Times

Wilhelmsen Ship Management finds ways to engage crew on ship and shore.

The cruise industry came to a halt from March 2020 and is not expected to resume until 1 September 2020 or later. Our Cruise fleet group in Norway initiated live sessions to encourage and motivate the crew that are currently at home, and waiting for the fleet to be reactivated.

The sessions open a channel for crew that are still on board, awaiting sign-off availability and approved travel arrangements from governments, to share their experiences with their fellow crew at home and vice versa. The live sessions included industry updates from owner representative and our technical and crew managers.
