Day 3: SM Portal Workshop for Chief Engineers
A highlight of this Fleet Week was the introduction of a dedicated day for a SM Portal Workshop, allowing our Chief Engineers to focus exclusively on the SM Portal’s features and capabilities. The session began with Manager of Asset Maintenance Group, Robert Øksnes, setting the tone for a day of hands-on exercises and in-depth learning, led by the AMG team.
Fleet Week 2024 in Manila provided an opportunity for our seafarers, shore colleagues, and technical experts to come together, share knowledge, and strengthen the bonds that drive our success.
Svend Foyn-Bruun, VP Maritime Personnel Section, summarized: "Fleet Week is an invaluable opportunity for us to come together and address the key challenges and opportunities we face.
It's a time for learning, collaboration, and ensuring that our seafarers and shore teams are aligned in our shared mission of operational excellence.
The workshops and discussions reinforced our commitment to operational excellence and continuous improvement, while the recognition of our seafarers' loyalty highlighted the heart of our operations—the people.
I’m proud of the work we’ve accomplished this week and excited for what lies ahead as we continue to strengthen our fleet."
The last Fleet Week of the year will be held in Bergen this November, where we will continue to set strategic direction and foster collaboration between our ship and shore colleagues.
