“Getting crew management wrong can cost far more than people realise.

In this clip, Dave Kneen, director at Cornerstone Crew Management, explains what can happen when crew decisions are made without the right advice; costly payouts, legal disputes, unfair dismissal risk and in the most serious cases, operational consequences for th vessel itself.

David’s point is simple: the cheapest time to get advice is before the decision is made.

Once the decision has been made badly, everyone is pack-pedalling, this includes the owner, the captain and the management team.”
