A total of 385 seafarers located in 17 countries joined the inaugural virtual meet held on 5 June 2020 which was broadcasted live from Kuala Lumpur. The session provided valuable reassurance to our seafarers on how management has been taking the necessary steps in helping employees across the globe to adapt to the new normal without compromising on their safety and health. Another engagement session was held for seafarers on board vessels on 17 July 2020. A total of 29 vessels sailing on oceans throughout the world dialled in for the first time to engage with Eaglestar’s leadership team.
