Join InterManager in London or online on 26 November for a free industry seminar titled ‘What's next for shipmanagement – and are we doing enough to tackle crew fatigue?’, which will bring together leading maritime voices to discuss two of the biggest challenges facing shipping today.
How can third-party ship managers keep pace with growing industry demands? And are we doing enough to address the working and living conditions contributing to fatigue at sea?
