Danica Crewing Specialists and the Norwegian Training Centre (NTC) are working together to offer a portfolio of high-quality online training courses to seafarers in Eastern Europe. 

Ship operators are doing all they can to ensure the safety of seafarers around the globe and the trade of vital food and supplies – but these important measures are proving costly as well as tricky warns crew specialist Henrik Jensen of Danica Crewing Services.

Solving the crew-change challenge is proving difficult under the current circumstances, warns crewing specialist Danica.

Following a survey conducted by Danica, a Hamburg-based crewing specialist, the company’s managing director Henrik Jensen has stated that: “Our survey shows that 80 per cent of the seafarers who do not have internet access today would move jobs in order to get it. This is a huge warning to those shipping companies who do not offer crew internet access onboard their vessels.”
