This course is designed to support the development of port welfare boards and committees, as well as other seafarers' welfare committees, around the world. As more boards and committees are founded and grow, the whole global seafarers' welfare community will benefit from shared best practices. The ultimate goal is increased quality of life for seafarers during their often limited time in port.
The course is taught by Mr. Peter Tomlin, MBE, CEO of the Merchant Navy Welfare Board, and features interviews with experts in the different aspects of seafarers' welfare, along with lesson text by Jason Zuidema, PhD of the North American Maritime Ministry Association.
