In a year marked by significant global disruptions and escalating sustainability pressures, Seatrade Maritime Crew Connect Global 2024 has confirmed its return to address critical issues in seafarer recruitment, retention, wellbeing, and training. Scheduled from 12th to 14th November 2024 at the prestigious Shangri-La The Fort in Manila, Philippines, this event, organized by the Informa Markets Division of Informa PLC, aims to bring together a network of global crewing professionals.

Seatrade Maritime Crew Connect Global is a premier conference dedicated to individuals responsible for the recruitment, development, and welfare of seafarers. This three-day conference serves as a vital platform for industry players to engage in open discussions, address challenges, explore opportunities, and acknowledge positive advancements within the sector.

“We are thrilled to announce the convening of Seatrade Maritime Crew Connect Global 2024, where prominent industry figures will gather to focus on pivotal insights, solutions, and issues that will shape a brighter future for seafarers worldwide,” stated Chris Morley, the Group Director of Seatrade Maritime.

Each year, the conference curates an agenda that reflects the diverse facets of the crewing sector. In the previous year, over 100 industry experts led discussions on topics ranging from Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices, diversity, technological integration, retention strategies, and wellbeing initiatives. For the upcoming 2024 edition, the agenda is being tailored in collaboration with key stakeholders and leaders to address the prevailing industry trends.

Aside from the insightful conference sessions, Seatrade Maritime Crew Connect Global 2024 will host a comprehensive exhibition featuring suppliers from across the globe. This exhibition will provide attendees with a wide array of solutions in areas such as recruitment, training, wellbeing, technology integration, satellite services, and onboard management.

“As new challenges emerge and existing disruptions persist, the industry is witnessing innovative approaches and creativity from both established and emerging brands. We are excited to offer a platform for these suppliers to showcase their products and services at both the Supplier Expo and the New to Show Zone during Seatrade Maritime Crew Connect Global 2024,” Morley added.
