Intermanager hosts the Enclosed Spaces Campaign
Last year Intermanager announced the Enclosed Spaces Campaign at the CrewConnect Global event. The campaign seeks to identify dangers to seafarer safety which are overlooked by the industry and to bring about industry change to prevent unnecessary loss of life at sea. Over the last year, a great deal of research has taken place with an overwhelming response from seafarers; who are all anxious to put an end to dangers onboard and to reduce the risks they face whilst completing their day to day jobs.
The overarching focus of the investigation, as explained by Kuba Szymanski, has been to "hear from the seafarers themselves to find out why fatal mistakes are still being made? Is there something the industry hasn’t taken into consideration?”
As a result of the breath of feedback from marine workers across the industry, Intermanager are now in a position to lobby the International Maritime Organisation and other key maritime stakeholders and view this as the first step towards eradicating these risks.
With grateful thanks, InterManager is recognising a number of individuals who submitted particularly thought-provoking feedback to assist its campaign, which will be announced at the CrewConnect Global Awards this year.
Welfare and Wellness Solutions Award Submission - Futurecare Inc
Future Care is an international medical management, cost containment service, and telemedical service provider exclusively to the maritime industry, serving shipowners and P&I Clubs in fulfilling the medical needs of seafarers, aboard ship and on land. The Company was founded in 1998 by CEO and President Christina DeSimone, who brought her unique brand of medical case management for land-based employees directly to shipowners and ship managers, to better manage the medical care of their crews. Future Care has grown rapidly since then, filling a need in the maritime community for expert management of seafarers’ medical treatment and services around the globe.
New Comer of the Year Award Submission - WELLATSEA
In the last year and a half, the WellAtSea program has reached approximately 3,640 seafarers, with 70 live orientation sessions amongst 1,090 crew. Indications of our 7-month pilot program showed a decrease of secondary outcomes in smoking, hypertension, and the overweight / obese population.
Newcomer of the Year Award Submission - Nordic Medical Clinic
The Nordic Medical Clinic wants to challenge the maritime industry and the idea is also to establish a 'pre-employment medical' clinic. 'Pre-employment medical' should not only be a 'FIT or UNFIT' system. There should be something in between – which is the 'care' for the seafarers. The Nordic Medical Clinic's commitment is to provide health and wellness training - a pro-active approach on health care
Lifetime Achievement Award Submission - Adonis B. Donato
An early achiever, Adonis is proudly Filipino. From being the captain of the Crew of Cadets and class president, to being a corporate executive and social reformer.
