Fourteen crewmembers representing Management Level Officers (MLOs), Operational Level Officers (OLOs), Petty Officers, and Ratings shared valuable inputs during the Filipino Crew Salary Discussion held November 28.

In the morning, the participants listened to presentations about general financial information, the company's latest financial results, salary comparison between Odfjell and competitors, and non-monetary benefits.

After lunch, VP Maritime Personnel Svend Foyn-Bruun, along with OPI General Manager Captain Remigio Zamora and VP - Head of Crewing Agnes Enesio, sat down with each of the groups (MLOs, PLOs, Petty Officers and Ratings) to discuss seafarers' feedback and suggestions on their compensation and benefits.

Among the matters raised during the meeting were revisiting ETO compensation package, internet quality on board, ShipMoney fees, salary standardization for Boys/Stewardesses, and the availability of feminine care items in the slop chest.

MPS Manila thanks the participants for taking time to attend the discussion, and for their honest feedback and valuable inputs.
