'Go to sea!' campaign launched at IMO to attract entrants to the shipping industry

摘要

A campaign to address the global shortage of seafarers, especially officers, has been launched by IMO in association with the International Labour Organization, the "Round Table" of shipping organizations - BIMCO, ICS/ISF, INTERCARGO and INTERTANKO - and the International Transport Workers' Federation. The campaign calls on governments, industry and IMO, supported by ILO and other international organizations, to take specific actions, within their areas of influence, to increase the recruitment of seafarers to tackle the problem.
