Maritime industry develops new personnel strategies

BREMEN. Creative ideas and unconventional methods can eliminate specialist and staff shortages in the maritime industry, which can be increasingly felt at sea and on land. This year’s Bremen Shipping Congress came to an end with this message in October. Initiated by the City University of Applied Sciences in Bremen, the event is organised in collaboration with Maritime Cluster Northern Germany (MCN) and many other maritime institutions and associations and, for 17 years, has had a reputation for being one of the most important HR industry events. Thanks to practical keynote speeches by figures in the shipping and port industries as well as from institutions indirectly involved in the shipping industry, the discussion moderated by Dr Susanne Neumann (right), Head of MCN’s Lower Saxony Office, and Sabine Zeller (left), Managing Director of Berufsbildungsstelle Seeschifffahrt, also proved to be a great source of ideas.
