Better seafarer welfare is too much for charterers to pay. Or is it?
- SSI, RightShip and DNV are working out how to track well-being and make it something charterers act upon
- Good data, and even good definitions for things like ‘seafarer welfare’, are lacking
- Charities stress link between happy crew and operational resilience
The Sustainable Shipping Initiative wants the industry’s help to come up with better ways to embed seafarer welfare in commercial decision-making
