Seafarers are servicing worldwide

I want to use this opportunity to salute every crewing personnel, shipping companies and institutions who has seen reasons to be engaging Nigerian seafarers globally. Personally, I have seen a spike in the engagement of Nigerian seafarers on the world fleets recently. This is because we (Nigerian seafarers) are delivering on our jobs, and this is being sensed by all, particularly top managements and crewing agents, the reports are getting impressive. Some have travelled to different countries to obtain foreign licenses. Our national tickets getting stronger by the day as the seafarers are advertising it with positive work attitude and ethics professionally coupled with the effort of the authorities. Every ship a Nigerian board is always filled with fun aside carrying our duties strictly because we are happy people. We sign off with good appraisals and recommendations. Some may have faced different kinds of superiors with some level of treatment, but they don't let that deter the morale because this was how the Filipinos made their breakthrough. Some of the treatment from reports are as a result of surprises from superiors who do not believe that Nigerians are this good as maritime professional. We are excellent, all we want is more opportunities to showcase our talents. This is also a call to all Nigerians seafarers globally on the world fleets to keep the flag high as we have shown the world that we can. Let us keep on building on this and transform our green passport to be easy ship boarding passport. Congratulations to those sailing on foreign ships and congratulations in advance to those of us who will join in the future by the grace of God. ---This post is out of excitement of colleagues who are currently working in their dreamed working environments. #MarineEngineer #NigerianSeafarers #CruiseShips #Offshore Maria Dixon idorenyin Ubongabasi

It is not only another safe embarking, but also what it cost to reach there. Each seaman knows it´s not an easy task after flying for several hours, transferred to the port, being processed through immigration, and so many other challenges that could arises,depending of the ports, prior boarding the vessel. Having a good agent, will definitely helps to make each joining more pleasant and smooth, considering all aspects/details for embarking and disembarking, by being punctual, informative, and welcoming during the crew change services. #shipagency #shipsagents #yachtagency #shipchandlers #panamacanalagent

Should we expect announcements on the national airline to be made in Maltese, English and the language of the country which the flight is flying to or from? YES. Should we expect the majority of the crew to be able to communicate well in both Maltese and English? YES. Would it be reasonable to have at least one crew member who is fluent in the language of the country which the flight is flying to or from? YES, it is desireable to provide a good service and imperative for safety reasons. How big is the pool of people who want to work as cabin crew and can communicate well in both Maltese and English and are fluent in at least one other language? SMALL, and getting smaller every day. Is considering supplementing the workforce with people who bring a wider language skillset a good idea? DEFINITELY, it is imperative given the shortage of resources and shrinking language skill set that we are experiencing in the local workforce. How do we come across when we politicise decisions that make good business sense and enhance our service offering on the international market? PETTY.

Stop dragging seafarer nationality through the sea bed…….. 1 in every 2.28 ships.. That is the likelihood of you encountering a seafarer from the Philippines, the Russian Federation, Indonesia, China, and India in global maritime shipping on board ships today.. As per UNCTAD, seafarers from these top 5 countries make up 44% of the global seafarer workforce with 152 other countries making up the balance 56%.. These unseen, unheard, unsung heroes of the sea work around the clock on approximately 105,000+ ships of different types carrying every imaginable type of goods that we need in our day-to-day lives..

Overcoming Challenges in AOG Outstation Support - A TAE Success Story At TAG Aviation Engineering, we pride ourselves on our ability to navigate complex logistical challenges to ensure timely and efficient maintenance services. Afterall, we're an operator ourselves so completely understand the urgency of getting an aircraft back in the air. Our recent experience supporting an OEM for a Global Express aircraft AOG in Papua New Guinea is a testament to our team’s dedication and expertise. Some of these destinations require visas and have various travel requirements. Our logistics team had to overcome certain obstacles to manage the shipment of parts and ensure they were delivered on time. ✈️ Expert Maintenance Team: Our licensed engineers, with expertise in the specific aircraft model, were ready to deploy, ensuring we could provide the highest level of technical support. 🌍 Navigating Visa Requirements: Since the aircraft was grounded during a holiday period in the region, we had to work closely with the local embassy and utilize third-party invitation letters to secure the necessary visas for our team. 🚚 Timely Shipment of Parts: Our logistics team worked diligently to ensure the critical parts were delivered on time, despite the complexities of international shipping and customs regulations. By coordinating flight schedules and maintenance efforts, we helped minimise the aircraft's ground time and got it back in the air as quickly as possible. #TAE #MaintenanceSupport #AircraftOnGround #Logistics #GlobalOperations #AviationMaintenance #AOG
