The European Shippers' Council and the Global Shippers' Alliance are calling for the problem of changing ship crews
A shortage of seafarers, they warned, means that ships will eventually not sail and supply chains will start to freeze
September 21, 2020
"A shortage of seafarers - warned ESC and GSA - Ultimately, it means that in the end the ships will not sail and if the ships ships don't navigate the supply chains on which we depend everyone will start to freeze. This will have an impact directed on the quality of our lives because the goods essential supplies we need they're going to stop coming. We can't let that happen at a time when recovery from the Covid pandemic is in such a critical stage. For global trade, it is vital and fundamental that, in the course of this pandemic, the quality life can be returned to crew members as yet at sea and their families."
"This - the two associations pointed out, that represent shippers and shippers - it's not a choice between public health and facilitation of crew change. Compared to the total number of people still crossing borders around the world - explained ESC and GSA - 300,000 maritimes represents a small but essential number of people cross-border mobility needs to be facilitated keep world trade moving."
