Quality staff- a major concern
(Jan 4 2013)
A survey of members of InterManager has identified the main concerns affecting the industry, as it begins the New Year.
In addition to fears about how challenging market conditions impact on operating budgets, vessel and crew managers are also concerned at the difficulties of finding and retaining quality staff – both at sea and on shore.
Responding to members' worries, InterManager plans to introduce a number of new initiatives this year to address training and recruitment matters, including the setting up of a young executives group.
InterManager president Gerardo Borromeo, who took the helm last October, said: "Today's young executives are tomorrow's leaders and we want to do all we can to support them and help them to develop their leadership qualities."
Bureaucracy remains a problem for the shipmanagement sector, particularly the burdens it places on time and resources.
InterManager said that it is supporting a number of projects to help, such as crew payment by `plastic money', as well as continuing to develop its KPI system to streamline and share best practices and improve efficiency – particularly important when budgets are stretched.
The organisation also said that it will focus its efforts this year on crew management matters – with a cadet scheme, a worldwide seafarers' survey and training and education initiatives in the pipeline.
Borromeo said: "The human element is key to successful shipmanagement and we must ensure we work together as an industry to raise standards and to encourage good staff – the best and the brightest – to enter and stay in shipping."
The InterManager survey of ship and crew managers also demonstrated that piracy and the smooth and successful introduction of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) were added concerns for shipmanagers.
