We were honoured to have the presence and contributions of our Group CEO, Mr. Gerrit Van Der Merwe, whose insights and leadership continue to inspire us all. The event’s success was a testament to the collaborative spirit that defines our group, showcasing the collective effort of every participant.

This year’s meeting focused on crafting our future by discussing strategies, setting goals, and engaging in meaningful dialogue about the path forward. Through a series of thematic sessions, workshops, open discussions, and even fun games, this created an ambiance filled with memorable moments, laughter, and, admittedly, a bit of pain as some challenges proved tough. Yet, it was the prevailing team spirit and a competitive yet fun mindset that carried us through to the end.

The different themes explored during the meeting, coupled with interactive workshops and open discussions, allowed us to dive deep into the complexities and opportunities within our industry. The inclusion of fun games helped break the ice, foster teamwork, and create an atmosphere where ideas could flow freely, ensuring that every moment was not only educational but also enjoyable.

As we reflect on the success of this gathering, we were reminded of the power of unity and shared vision. The discussions we had and the goals we have set pave the way for a future where we not only meet the challenges of the logistics industry but also redefine its standards.

This meeting was a reminder of what we can achieve together, and it’s with great anticipation that we look forward to the road ahead.

Dedicated to overcoming the crisis in crew changes and repatriation of crew members at the end of their contracts of service, The Neptune Declaration on Seafarer Wellbeing and Crew Change defines four main actions to facilitate crew changes and which ultimately, keeps global supply chains functioning:

• Recognizing seafarers as key workers and give them priority access to Covid-19 vaccines;
• Establishing and implementing gold-standard health protocols based on existing best practices;
• Increasing collaboration between ship operators and charterers to facilitate crew changes; and
• Ensuring air connectivity between key maritime hubs for seafarers.

“We are proud to support this campaign which is committed to the safety and wellbeing of seafarers, on whom so many people and industries depend.” said Gerrit Van der Merwe, OMA Group CEO.
