Vision
The prerequisite for development is innovation, and the prime mover for innovation is to always create ideas that promote setting and achieving targets and moving beyond our limits in life, enabling personnel to achieve their highest goals via channelizing their energies through experience and collaborative teamwork, and improve their financial & social well-being, as well as provide solidarity to seafarers for resolution of their grievances.
In the early days of our burgeoning collaborative development, the team recognized the vast inventory of opportunities available to seafarers, as well as the recourse of seafarers’ brotherhood to actualize that inventory. And most importantly, the team envisions to make the joys of time spent at home more pleasant and replayable, expanding one of seafarers’ favourite past times to a whole new audience.
