Supporting the shipping industry
Investing in a healthy, happy crew isn’t just a moral issue for shipping companies – it’s also good for business.
Human error is by far the greatest cause of accidents at sea. Fatigue, stress and poor crew mental health all contribute to crew making poor decisions that can be incredibly costly to life and the bottom line.
Through our Wellness at Sea programme, we can work with your company to provide wellness training and support for crew and management, to help them identify and prevent mental health problems on board. We offer the most comprehensive package of wellness support and training in the maritime industry – find out more here or contact our Wellness at Sea Programme Manager Johan Smith to discuss a tailored approach for your company.
Our chaplains are on hand in 90 ports around the world to offer support and a hand of friendship to your crews. If you would like to see a chaplain in a port where we do not yet operate, please contact us and we would be more than happy to discuss a partnership to make this possible. To see where all our chaplains are located, please visit our find a port chaplain page.
“We’re working with shipping companies to help them offer the best care to their employees, who are the life blood of the industry and our global economy.”
