How we are connecting sea and shore at Wallenius Wilhelmsen

Keeping our crews informed and connected is essential. We believe that clear communication and safety should be second nature – no matter where our seafarers are.

That’s why we use Bazeport, our modern infotainment system designed to enhance communication, promote safety, and build a strong sense of community across our fleet.

How we keep our crews informed

Our digital communication platform delivers essential content like company updates, safety messages, training materials, clear guidelines on what to do and what not to do, ensuring all our crew members are aligned with our policies and safety standards directly to our onboard crews. Specifically designed for the maritime industry, it ensures that crucial information reaches every seafarer in an engaging and timely manner, bridging the gap between sea and shore.

A good example of how we deliver vital content is the recent launch of the “See It, Say It, Stop It” safety awareness campaign. This initiative is designed to empower crew members to actively identify and report safety concerns, fostering a proactive safety culture onboard. By encouraging open communication and immediate action, we reinforce our commitment to making safety everyone’s responsibility.

Through this approach, we don't just talk the talk – we walk the talk. We act on the feedback and calls from the vessels, addressing difficult situations as they arise and ensuring that our crew is fully supported in all circumstances.

Always safety first: the Wallenius Wilhelmsen way

Communication plays a key role in upholding our "Safety First" culture. We share targeted safety campaigns, videos, and best practices that reinforce our commitment to safe operations.

By sharing real-life case studies from past accidents and incidents on our vessels, we turn these experiences into valuable learning opportunities. We focus on understanding mistakes, ensuring that we never repeat them, and taking proactive steps to avoid similar situations in the future.

Effective communication is critical to ensuring a strong safety culture onboard. This platform allows us to deliver safety messages in a clear and engaging way, making sure that every crew member not only receives the information but understands and applies it in their daily operations. This is how we embed safety into everything we do.
