SAFETY FIRST!
from the SQE Department
MESSAGE FROM THE DPA:
Getting back on course! Dear seafarers, A few days ago we carried out the 2nd WebForum with our Seafarers, which was such a great success! I want to mention this year’s WebForum in my message in this issue, mostly because of the great feelings I had during that day. It felt like we were getting back together – like we were getting REALLY connected. Even though people from the office contact the vessels every day for our routine tasks, having the connection of a Forum is a completely different feeling. It felt like we were “GETTING BACK ON COURSE”, which was this year’s theme. During the preparations for the Web Forum, one of the shore people’s targets was to try share with the vessels, in a realistic way, what our job is like here at Head Office. We were able to achieve this through certain video sessions.
CENMAR Family
Learner’s Mindset
No Blame
Safety Culture
Almost as opposed to Always Safe
On the part of our Seafarers, during the preparations, we received amazing and powerful footage with video messages from vessels that injected warmth into the atmosphere of the Forum. We all miss the physical forums so much, but this online one was also very rewarding Elli Moretti since we witnessed such enthusiasm from our Seafarers either onboard or ashore, from all over the world. On the other hand, there was an advantage: more than 500 seafarers were connected at the same time in addition to the people from Head Office and the Cenmar offices. Some of the strongest messages that were conveyed during the Web Forum were:
Go with the Flow Weak Signals vs Safety
Navigate with Safety One Team Stay Safe
So yes, online Forums can be a success! And to prove it, please watch the whole event. You will receive instructions on how to view the Web Forum video. I wish you safe voyages and a safe return home, Elli Moretti
