Advantis – Crew Management, a Business Unit of the Hayleys Advantis Group – the transportation and logistics arm of Hayleys PLC – and an affiliated member of Sri Lanka Shipping Company Limited, marks the International Day of the Seafarer 2025 by reaffirming its support for this year’s IMO theme, ‘My Harassment-Free Ship.’
This global campaign highlights the importance of fostering safe, inclusive, and respectful working environments at sea. In alignment with this vision, Advantis – Crew Management is committed to upholding the highest standards of workplace conduct, ensuring that every seafarer, regardless of rank, gender, or background, is valued, protected, and empowered onboard.
With over 90% of global goods transported by sea, the safe and timely delivery of every container vessel and tanker depends on the dedication and professionalism of seafarers. This success, however, often comes at a personal cost of long periods away from home, isolation, and the need for resilience in challenging conditions. Their role is vital, yet their contributions often go unnoticed.
Recognising the critical importance of seafarers, Advantis – Crew Management provides a comprehensive range of services to support and empower them, including:
True seafaring excellence, however, goes beyond technical capability. Advantis believes that today’s seafarers must also be equipped with the soft skills, cultural intelligence, and emotional resilience required to thrive in diverse, often demanding environments. To this end, the Company’s training programmes are designed to support both professional development and personal growth.
Additionally, Advantis has strengthened its policies on workplace conduct at sea, adopting a zero-tolerance approach to bullying, harassment, and discrimination. The Company advocates for accessible reporting channels, strong support networks, and transparent accountability across all vessels under its management.

On this International Day of the Seafarer, Advantis – Crew Management extends its sincere appreciation to seafarers across the globe. As a trusted partner in crew management, we remain committed to shaping a future where every vessel is a safe and respectful environment, and every seafarer has the opportunity to thrive.
