InterManager chief: Strait of Hormuz crisis is critical test for shipmanager-crew-owner relationships
By
Linton Nightingale
Summary
The Strait of Hormuz crisis is a critical test for shipmanagement companies, according to InterManager chief Sebastian von Hardenberg. Shipmanagers must balance crew welfare and repatriation requests with shipowners' demands for operational readiness. The crisis exposes fragile crew relationships and the need for deeper owner engagement. Social media gives seafarers instant feedback channels, making crew well-being 'a matter of survival' for managers. The flashpoint will have long-lasting implications for the shipping sector even after the crisis passes.
