At the 10th Annual Capital Link Operational Excellence in Shipping Forum, Singapore Organisation of Seamen (SOS) set up a digital booth where it provided participants the opportunity to engage themselves with a virtual tour and view the union’s consistent effort in safeguarding the interest and well-being of seafarers.
SOS is one of the many global and recognised industry leaders that appeared at the two-day networking event on 16 and 17 June 2020. Through several interactive and digital platforms at the event, participants were able to get in touch with different components of the maritime industry – think shipping companies, charterers, government and non-governmental industry associations, to name but a couple – and, even, join in group discussions as well as conferences online.
