Donnelly Tanker Management has signed “The Neptune Declaration”, joining the global industry and human rights leaders in their plight to resolve the crew change crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The Declaration defines four main actions to facilitate crew changes and keep global supply chains functioning: recognising seafarers as key workers and giving them access to COVID-19 vaccines; establishing and implementing a gold standard health protocol 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.
