Currently making the world maritime news is the International Maritime Organization’s plan to implement a global sulfur cap. But if you haven’t had a chance to read up on this huge change for the shipping industry yet, Martide have the lowdown on what it is and what it means for shipping companies.
The introduction of the ship container shook maritime transport and the industry to its core. Sure, boxes revolutionized it but they also effected employment figures. A similar transition is happening with the rise of eCommerce and automation of the industry: what’s changing the future this time?
Pre-2010 most cyber security attacks were on individuals who through bad luck and naivety were defrauded out of financial or personal data. That was less than a decade ago but in tech terms it’s light years. Hackers have set their sights on bigger game - including the maritime industry.
Martide are delighted to announce we are working with Arriva Shipping AS and Arriva Shipping Polska. Arriva were looking for a more efficient way to find and track job applicants and Martide’s efficient end-to-end hiring platform fulfilled their needs.
Martide wish to offer our sincere congratulations to Nordic Hamburg who, in conjunction with Shell LNG, after five years of painstaking preparatory work, reached a huge milestone in the industry this week: executing the world’s very first simultaneous LNG bunkering during container cargo operations.
There's no long blog post this week - just a heartfelt greeting to wish all of our employers and manning agents a very happy and prosperous new year and all the very best for 2022.
Technology is changing life at sea, seafarer jobs, maritime recruitment, crew management, seafarer training and the way the maritime industry operates. Martide take a look at some of the maritime technology making waves today.
We thought we’d take a look at which of our employer blog posts were most popular in 2020. So from maritime technology to crew management software solutions and from maritime recruitment to seaman quotes to attracting top talent, let’s run down Martide’s very own end of year top ten list.
We always find it fascinating to see which of our blog posts come out on top. Will 2022’s maritime recruitment and crew planning posts be any different to the top employer blog posts of 2020 or the most popular posts of 2021?
Marine tech aside there's two facts about ships: 1) they’re almost always on the move 2) procuring spare parts at sea is almost impossible. So if certain repair and maintenance issues can only be dealt with while a ship is docked wouldn’t it be great to find a way to fix problems mid-voyage?
To make a splash in the maritime industry your shipping company needs to go one further than sending the occasional newsletter. Today your digital presence is crucial and you must revamp your strategies from time to time to stand out from the competition.
