Crew Conference Manila

Published: 4. April 2025

Henrik Orth, Director Ship Management and Bjørn-Thore Seljelid, Head of Crewing have returned to Bergen after a productive and insightful visit to Manila.

The trip included a mini conference with crew members from our crewing partner Energios and a full crew conference with Stödig, gathering over 120 participants. Key topics discussed included the future development of our seafarers, risk assessment — with a dedicated focus on safe work at height — as well as our ongoing priority areas: offhire, loss of propulsion, Port State Control, cost control, and safety. 

 

At the Energios office, the team worked side by side with colleagues on daily operations and shared challenges, further strengthening collaboration and mutual understanding. A significant milestone was also reached during the visit, as Energios deployed their first Chief Engineer to a Wilson vessel — Wilson Gaeta. 

 

The visit provided valuable professional exchange, and the team also took the opportunity to connect socially with colleagues. We appreciate the warm hospitality and look forward to continued cooperation in the time ahead.
