Throughout the festive seasons, seafarers at sea continue to work tirelessly around the clock so that their vessels’ cargo will be delivered on time to their respective ports. To thank them for their dedication and hard work, the Industrial Relations (IR) team dropped by various vessels, which have Collective Bargaining Agreements with SMOU.

During the visits, SMOU staff were warmly welcomed by the crew. Kelvin Lin and Brandon Tan from Industrial Relations were on board to share the union schemes with the crew, speak to them about their welfare and working conditions on-board, and provide updates through publications under SeaVoices and ITF’s Seafarers’ Bulletin.
