From Ship to Shore:: ICS Video Highlights Seafarers’ Experiences

The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has recently released a captivating new video titled “Life After Sea” in collaboration with its members. This video aims to showcase the diverse and intriguing career opportunities available within the maritime industry. Through interviews with various maritime professionals, viewers gain insight into the significance of seafaring and how it can be a life-changing profession.

The video presented by ICS offers a collection of inspiring interviews that provide a seafarers’ perspective on what their career entails. In addition to highlighting the experience of being onboard and traveling the world, seafarers also discuss how their time at sea has equipped them with valuable skills and opportunities for pursuing careers onshore. This initiative sheds light on the multifaceted nature of the maritime industry and the potential it holds for professional growth and development.

In line with recognizing the importance of seafarers’ personal experiences, major shipping organizations are increasingly focusing on improving the living and working conditions onboard. For instance, the International Maritime Organization has launched a campaign for seafarers to share their #SafetyTipsAtSea in celebration of the International Day of the Seafarer. This initiative aims to highlight the contributions of seafarers in promoting safety within the maritime sector and encourages them to share their best safety practices, from the gear they use to the training they receive.
