The Backbone of Global Trade

Seafarers play a crucial role in driving the global economy, facilitating the movement of goods and commodities that keep the world's markets thriving. With approximately 85% of international trade conducted by sea, the maritime industry relies heavily on the skills and dedication of seafarers. As key stakeholders in global commerce, seafarers are instrumental in maintaining the delicate balance of international trade.

The Challenges of Life at Sea

Despite their vital contributions, seafarers often face unique challenges. Prolonged periods at sea, away from family and friends, can be isolating and demanding. Moreover, the nature of their contracts means that seafarers frequently need to seek new employment opportunities when they return home after completing a voyage. This can be a daunting task, requiring access to reliable job listings, industry connections, and support services.

What is the current arrangement?

Crewing agencies, also known as manning agents, play a vital role in connecting seafarers with job opportunities on behalf of ship owners. However, it's not uncommon for deserving seafarers to miss out on these vacancies, despite having all necessary certificates and documents in order. Connecting Seafarer does not provide any vacancies of their own. Similar to other social platforms, Connecting Seafarer only intends to work as a bridge for Seafarers and Manning Agent in order to save their valuable time.
