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.
