Waypoints Issue 02: Wellness at Sea, Wellness on Shore
The second issue of Waypoints magazine takes the mental health of mariners as its focus. Our staff outline beneficial techniques for self-awareness and reflection, highlight compassionate crew welfare policies, look at amendments to the Maritime Labour Convention designed to protect seafarers abandoned by their employers, and emphasise the critical importance of the next steps. Also included are features on the International Group’s ongoing work to provide consistent cover for its stakeholders irrespective of global trading fluctuations, and the wisdom of implementing delay insurance. Our New York branch comes under the office profile spotlight, and we present another round-up of recent arbitrations.
