Commercial shipping is not limited to the business of transporting goods and commodities, for trade and commerce; it is a value-chain activity extending beyond “Pre-fixture, Operations and Post-fixture”, and it has the opportunity to provide gainful employment to thousands of seafarers those who are seeking “ship-to-shore transition” or upskilling.
Commercial Shipping has vast career opportunities (and seafarers seek these opportunities) yet it is a surprising fact that Commercial shipping companies are unable to find manpower with sufficient skills and experience. To understand in detail this “manpower scarcity” and “Job-Skill” mismatch situation in Commercial Shipping, ‘Sea and Beyond’ conducted a survey (https://forms.gle/g6ydiHPFEfjCeFwC8) in mid-July 2024, and the Key Insights of the survey are:
Considering the outcome of this survey, Sea and Beyond has organized a panel discussion. This Panel has highly experienced and esteemed professionals/faculty-members of Commercial shipping, and the idea of this panel is to help seafarers take “well-informed career decision” and the panel-members will share how the upcoming “A certificate course on Commercial Shipping by Sea and Beyond and GMU” will bridge the Job-skill gap in commercial shipping.
Agenda of the Panel Discussion:
Esteemed Panel members:
Mr. Krishnan Subramaniam, International Vice Chairman of ICS and advisor at Transworld Group
Mr. Sandeep Misra, Ex GM commercial with SCI
Capt. Ashok Sharma, Managing Director, BRS Baxi Singapore
Capt. Shashi Shekhar, ex- Head of Human Resource from Adani Ports
Dr. Abhay Singh Thakur -- Assistant Professor and Member, Board of Management, Gujarat Maritime University
Warm Regards,
Sea and Beyond
