On August 31, 2026, Fleet Management (Fleetship) held a senior officers’ conference in Manila focused on safe working practices, seafarer wellbeing, professional development and preparing crews for new dual‑fuel technologies. The company is expanding its Manila training hub, upgrading simulators for dual‑fuel operations and tightening pre‑joining medical screening, integrating these efforts into its Care 360 programme to support seafarers and their families.
The senior officers’ conference organised by Fleet Management in Manila brought together captains and chief engineers to discuss everyday challenges faced by seafarers, including safe working practices, personal wellbeing, career development and the impact of rapid change across the maritime industry. Sessions addressed workload management, onboard risk control, incident reporting culture and the need for systematic mental health support, particularly as shipping faces increasing commercial pressure and complex trading patterns. A dedicated segment covered leadership and crew management in multicultural environments, highlighting conflict resolution and communication practices that directly influence safety and morale on board.
