“As the maritime sector goes through a defining era of evolution, particularly on its journey towards net-zero and accelerated technology adoption, the crewing industry finds itself facing new and unexpected challenges,” said Chris Morley, Group Director of Seatrade Maritime.

“The conference at Seatrade Maritime CrewConnect Global has always provided the industry with the insight, expertise and essential strategies needed to overcome the challenges of today and be ahead of tomorrow. As the event now marks its 24th edition, we’re delighted to offer such a comprehensive and engaging programme once again, which will be matched in quality by our soon-to-be-announced panel of speakers,” continued Morley.
