Maritime data startup Greywing works with industry bodies to aid crew changes
Startup's platform uses proprietary algorithms to show optimised data on flight availability and ideal ports of call
Singapore
THOUSANDS of seafarers have been stranded on board vessels globally amid Covid-19, even as some of their contracts run out. This is because performing crew changes has been one of the biggest hurdles for shipping firms amid Covid-19 port restrictions and limited flight availability.
Seeing how its own clients were struggling with crew changes, Greywing, a Singapore-based maritime intelligence startup, is offering a risk assessment tool for free to vessel owners who are conducting crew changes in Singapore, in collaboration with the Singapore Shipping Association (SSA) and the Singapore Maritime Officers' Union (SMOU).
