From STCW to Smart Ships: Where Seafarers Train in Greece – Part 5

Greece is one of the key countries in the global maritime industry, home to a large concentration of shipowners, crewing companies, and training centers for seafarers.

That's why we've dedicated a separate feature to Greek maritime training centers—places where seafarers can complete their training, renew certificates, and gain new knowledge, including in the areas of smart ships and emerging technologies.

When the Storm is Inside You: the Problem that is not Talked About - Suicidal Tendencies at Sea.

The seafarer's profession is one of the most stressful, with high isolation and harsh working conditions, and can lead to increased stress levels, depression and, as a consequence, suicidal risks.

How Your Facial Expression in a CV Photo Affects Perceived Competence

Psychologists, HR professionals, and nonverbal communication researchers have long studied how facial expressions in photos shape the perception of a person as competent, trustworthy, and right for the job.

Seaspan Invests $1.5M In Robotics To Automate Shipbuilding Blast & Paint Operations

Vancouver-based Seaspan Shipyards has awarded a $1.5 million contract to Alberta’s Confined Space Robotics (CSR) to develop semiautonomous robotic systems for blast and paint operations across its ship and submarine programmes.

The robotic platforms will be equipped with specialised tools, including needle scalers, laser ablation systems, grinders, grit blasters and spray-coating equipment.

Custom-developed software will manage path planning and operational control, enabling the systems to function inside confined and high-risk spaces where workers are typically exposed to toxic fumes, particulates and repetitive strain.

Blast and paint work is used in new shipbuilding as well as in complex submarine projects, ship repair and overhaul.

Seaspan said the initiative is intended to make these operations safer, more efficient and higher quality across its business.

By assigning repetitive surface preparation and coating tasks to robotic systems, the company aims to reduce worker exposure to hazardous environments and long-term strain injuries while improving consistency in application.

The equipment will be mounted on mobility platforms designed for manual manoeuvring and integrated with software that controls movement and user operations.
