The key topic for discussion was focusing on V.Group’s ability to provide consistent, high quality ship management during these challenging times for the maritime sector.
Delegates were given the opportunity to listen and discuss the latest updates to the Fleet Cell operating model, and how learn about how operations are supported by a rigorous safety culture.
