Stuart Ostrow is the President of ShipMoney and he is the guest in episode 152 of the Shipping Podcast. Stuart is an entrepreneur who entered the maritime domain 15 years ago. He tells the story of ShipMoney and how he realised the importance of a virtual debit card for seafarers and what a difference it makes to offer online payments both for employers but also for the seagoing personnel.
Stuart highlights the importance of the seafarers and the situation they are currently facing, not to forget the ones still at home unable to work since they cannot travel to the ship.
The ICS Campaign Seafarers Delivering Christmas, #SeafarersDeliveringChristmas has a website where you can see how to support the seafarers, here is the link
If you are a seafarer and is willing to speak about the Crew Change situation, please drop me a line at hello@shippingpodcast.com I will be working on this during the holiday season, so please reach out. You will be needing good connectivity so we can connect via Zoom, either through the mobile app or on your computer, a headset and a quiet space. I promise you that you can be anonymous if you want.
Thank you for listening! Merry Christmas!
