Life on Board
Laurin Maritime is dedicated to providing its crew and staff with a stimulating, exciting and rewarding work environment. The company offers career opportunities and training to help expand each employee’s potential. Laurin Maritime wants its employees to work, develop in experience and stay with the company in the long term.
Laurin Maritime encourages and rewards individual initiatives. Each year, our Safety Award and Environmental Award bring out extraordinary ideas from our collaborators. These are implemented onboard our ships.
Health
At Laurin Maritime, we care for the well-being of our colleagues. We have comfortable dayrooms and well equipped gyms and sport rooms onboard.
We encourage our employees to exercise both when at home and on board the ships, we make sure that the food served onboard is healthy and nutritious, and we have put in place health care systems for our employees.
In Sweden we collaborate with a health care services company when it comes to medical examinations and advice. We provide medical insurance for our Filipino officers and crew and their families.
Food
It is vital that the crew living onboard our ships for long periods of time is served high quality food. At Laurin Maritime, we want to ensure that the food served onboard our ships is varied, well-balanced, healthy, and tastes good. We pay attention to special requirements or preferences due to the culture of our collaborators.
We put a lot of effort in continuously educating our cooks and have employed a fleet catering consultant who travels around to all our vessels, helping with nutrition, hygiene, purchases and storage.
Two to three persons are employed in the galley on each ship. A promoting system for galley personnel has been put in place in order to motivate our employees to perform well and ensure high quality.
Recreation and Communications
We want our colleagues to be happy and comfortable onboard our ships. It is also important that they are able to stay in touch with family and friends at home.
We have broadband internet access on our vessels. Through this all our crew has access to e-mail and inexpensive telephone calls.
Sweden is one of the few countries to have ratified ILO’s Seafarers’ Welfare Convention, which guarantees that all seafarers shall have access to wellbeing, culture, recreation, and information.
The Swedish Seafarers’ Library enables our crew to borrow books and renew the ships’ library easily. A range of movies is also available onboard.
