Sustainable Crewing Guidelines

The Sustainable Crewing Guidelines present a set of nine recommendations co-developed by the Global Maritime Forum's All Aboard Alliance and 12 major shipping companies. These guidelines aim to address the critical workforce shortage in the shipping industry, projected to reach a shortfall of 90,000 trained seafarers by 2026, posing a significant risk to global supply chains and maritime safety.

Based on extensive research and feedback from over 400 seafarers, the guidelines outline essential improvements in working conditions, including measures to prevent abuse and harassment, promote work-life balance, and enhance access to onboard facilities. These recommendations seek to improve workforce well-being, ensure safer working environments, and make seafaring a more appealing career choice.

The report also features a checklist of indicators to help seafarers, charterers, cargo owners, shipping companies, and other stakeholders assess how well a vessel or company aligns with the nine sustainable crewing guidelines.
