According to IMO (International Maritime Organization) “Around 90% of world trade is carried by the international shipping industry today. Without shipping the import and export of goods on the scale necessary to sustain the modern world would not be possible. Thus, Seafarer has the most vital role to play in our global economy to keep the world moving. Connecting Seafarer makes building a ship’s crew as easy as it should be. We serve every seaman who wants to enjoy peace of mind and every agency that wants to get ahead in the shipping industry.

Everything changes when you connected via the biggest platform for seafarers.
Assume a seafarer has a STCW certificate coming to expiry during his next vacation, and how he is worried about where and when to upgrade the course, he will be wasting his vacantion in searching for various institutes and waiting for the lucky news as the institute can not arrange course only for him. This situation arises several times in every mariner's life. By connecting with your institutes through Connecting Seafarer, institutes will not only know about the numbers of seafarers who will need this course in ahead of time, also organize the course in better way giving you time & information to prepare for it.
Do you know what is the heaviest item a seafarer carry all through the airports until he joins ship? It is the bunch of Certificates & plenty of documents, required to support their exellency & identity in every step of their journey and every ship they board on. Many seafarers have reportedly lost CDC/CoC or passport just while visiting their nearest Agency while searching for jobs. That is definitely not the future of seafarers when they can systematically build their profile with all their documents and certificates and have a privacy options for each one of them separately.
For the first time ever in social platforms, Seafarer is the incharge of their profile data and evern career !
Job on ship is unique as the seafarers have to change ship every contract and working environment in every ship is challenging in terms of safety, as they face a combination of hazards including high-risk activities, harsh weather conditions, confined spaces, heavy machinery, fatigue, remote locations, isolation, security threats, environmental hazards, and the need to adhere to complex safety regulations and international standards, all of which require specialized training, equipment, and procedures to mitigate risks and ensure a safe working environment, making safety a paramount concern for seafarers. Seafarers are often exposed to too many courses for working on ship and complete them all in one go while loosing interest and forgetting the lessons while onboard and when actually require them.
Training is part of seaman's life, but making it interesting is what makes it effective.
Seafarers spend extended periods at sea, away from family, friends, and society. Though they have the social media accesses onboard, but none of the existing social media is dedicated for seafarers and provides all the unique features that a seaman require.
