Community engagement
TMI seeks to ensure that the interests of the communities which we work with are supported and we achieve this through:
- Ensuring we comply with relevant laws and regulations including the Maritime Labour Convention (2006) regulating working hours and welfare standards for crew
- Providing training and seminars for officers and crew to promote safety culture and a whistleblowing policy for crew
- Focusing on onboard wellbeing: providing high speed broadband, healthy menu plans, mentoring, sharing best practice, offering mental health support
- Advocating for COVID 19 welfare: signatory to ‘Neptune Declaration’ and industry initiative calling for ‘key worker’ status for seafarers globally; providing additional oxygen supplies to vessels; sponsoring vaccinations where it is possible
- Promoting diversity and equality of opportunity. Our ships’ crew number almost 500 and span about 7 different nationalities. We promote opportunities for female seafarers on board our vessels and welcomed our first female officer cadet in October 2021
- Contributing to communities we impact by supporting seafarer welfare charities including the Mission to Seafarers
