Despite significant efforts by international organizations, unions, companies and some governments to sort this, we are now starting to see the situation getting worse as governments bring in more travel bans in response to the new strains of the Covid-19 virus. On the podcast this week to discuss the implications is Graham Westgarth, chairman of V.Group. As a key figure behind the Neptune Declaration and chairman of one of the largest shipmanagement agencies he is painfully aware of the restrictions, and while he is positive that Neptune is starting to have some impact, he is also realistic about the how quickly things will change and warns that the crewing crisis yet to emerge will hit when seafarers decide not to return to work.
