In October 2020, The Bahamas Shipowners Association brought together the Secretary Generals of ITF and ICS, the CEO of The BMA and the President of ECSA to discuss the ongoing problems for crews during the COVID-19 crisis. ‘Crewing in Crisis’ addressed the many challenges faced by crews today around the world.
At the time it was estimated that some 400,000 seafarers were stuck onboard their vessel, causing enormous physical and psychological hardship.
The BMA would like to thank all stakeholders who joined the debate and contributed to the quest to solve this untenable situation.
