Show Notes
If 2020 was the year that the world saw how much it relies on the work of seafarers behind the scenes, then will 2021 see more of that understanding turned into action?
As the first part of the ISWAN (International Seafarers' Welfare and Assistance Network) Social Interaction Matters is published - a report based on research with the seafarers themselves, it once again reminds all of us the benefits of regular social interaction on board and what obstacles there are that need to be overcome.
Our latest podcast explores all these themes with input from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, ISWAN and the co-chair of the REG Conference.

The pandemic turned a spotlight on the often hidden problem of crew welfare. Seafarers are key workers was the phrase and now it would seem the superyacht industry is also very much engaged in the problems facing crew members.
While the UK and Red Ensign Group continues to lead and aid finding solutions for decarbonisation in the merchant shipping sector, the yachting industry is more complex in which way it may go.
With the International Maritime Organization’s Member State mandatory audit of the REG members expected before the end of this year, the Red Ensign Group is concentrating on making sure it's ready for the event.
From helping to get crews home to providing seafarers with a welfare app, the Red Ensign Group continues to keep driving forward care of those who work at sea.
It brought together maritime expertise from across the world and represents some of the highest standards in the world when it comes to the yachting industry. The Red Ensign Group Yacht Code was published early in January 2019 and continues to be the go-to document for the industry.
