Seafarers Bulletin
We are pleased to share updates across V. this month for our seafarers. From the latest PPE, ensuring your safety and welfare remains a priority, to the refreshed Safety Catch, aimed at inspiring and improving our safety standards throughout the year.
As part of a global seafaring community at V., we want you to develop your skills and learn new ones, enabled through our training and development programme. Additionally, our Voyage Loyalty initiative continues to expand, providing more rewards for the great work you do.
Receiving feedback from you is important to us to ensure we stay united. Our regular ship visits and seeing your life at sea through the Photography Competition help us understand the challenges you face. So we are looking for your feedback this month on how you receive your news.

Meet January 2025 V.Group Safety Catch of the Month Winner!
Bosun Yuriy Katsyuk / CSL TARANTAU (UK, France & Americas Cluster) has been selected as January’s Safety Catch Winner for his outstanding contribution to our safety culture. Whilst preparing a starboard side bunkering crane for operation/lowering of new rollers into the tunnel, Bosun Katsyuk found several wires on the crane had parted around the connection with the counterweight. Work was stopped immediately to prevent an incident, and the operation continued after the wire was replaced and crane proven to be ready for use in all regards.
As our January Winner, Yuriy Katsyuk will be presented with a certificate, a $200 GMT travel voucher and an appreciation letter from our CEO, V.Ships Robert Desai and COO, V.Ships Ian Trebinski.
We congratulate the entire crew on board CSL TARANTAU, and the Boston Office for their submission.
