People at sea
Our efforts align with Skuld’s work on SDG 3 'Good health and well-being' and SDG 10 'Reduced inequalities'.
Supporting a safer life at sea
Skuld is dedicated to promoting a safer life at sea. To achieve this goal, Skuld has partnered with the Norwegian Training Centre (NTC) in Manila, the leading maritime and offshore simulator training service in the global community. Together, NTC and Skuld deliver a seminar series for Skuld customers entitled Mental Health for Seafarers. We also produce a series of safety videos, the first of which explores cargo liquefaction and the risks it poses to those on board.
Skuld is committed to contributing to a safer future for seafarers and a more informed maritime industry. In November 2024, we held the second Skuld School for Seafarers in Manila in cooperation with NTC.
Safely with Skuld
Skuld has created a guide called “Safely with Skuld” to help seafarers understand our organisation and their role in preventing shipboard losses and injuries. The guide provides valuable insights on handling damages, the environment, and understanding the responsibilities related to their vessels and cargo. It is designed to be comprehensive yet easy to read and is available to all clients of Skuld. You can contact your local Skuld office to get print versions of the guide.
Supporting the Sailors' Society Female Helpline
Skuld is proud to support and fund the Sailors' Society's initiative to create a female helpline. This female-led initiative provides a safe and confidential space for women at sea to seek support, crisis assistance, and peer-to-peer connections.
We believe in working together to increase gender equality and attract a diverse workforce to ensure it stays competitive in an uncertain world where female seafarers remain a significant minority.
Skuld Walking For Seafarers is an important part of our sustainability efforts, created to enhance internal awareness about Skuld's commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
