What is V. Care?
Our V.CARE program helps us put your safety, welfare, and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. Through our V.CARE initiatives we offer you:
- A safe and positive work environment – Care is at our core, and we are committed to making seafaring a safe and healthy experience for all
- A world of opportunity – Develop your skills. Learn new ones. Change direction when you need to. A career at V. opens up a lifetime of opportunities
- Being at the cutting edge, confident in the future – We push the limits of what’s possible. By giving you the most advanced tools, technology and training, our crew can adapt, prepare and meet the future with confidence
- A strong community and connection to others – At V., you’re never alone. You’re part of a global community of 40k seafarers, their families and the wider V. team onshore and at sea
Seafarers Bulletin
We are pleased to share updates across V. this month for our seafarers.
The global celebration of women in March also reminds us of the need to attract female talent to our industry, and work is underway to ensure more female seafarers can be welcomed across V.’s fleets.
Thank you all for your input to this Bulletin format, it was reassuring to receive positive feedback for the initiative and gain a sense of what you like to read about and how you wish to receive updates.
Finally, we recently met as a global Marine HR team to share experiences from our seafarers, and across the crewing teams, to reinforce our vision of creating progress for everything at sea. We know that is not possible if we do not put our seafarers first. So look out for upcoming changes to help us all move forward together.

Meet the February 2025 V.Group Safety Catch of the Month Winner!
3rd Officer Serhii Ruban of BARUMK GAS, part of the Singapore Fleet 2, was been selected as the February Safety Catch Winner.
This month’s safety catch highlights the importance of Situation Awareness in maintaining vessel security. Following the detection of a stowaway, the crew took immediate action, demonstrating vigilance and effective communication. A Safety Moment on "Situation Awareness" was prepared, and security procedures were reinforced through a briefing with the crew. Security measures around the vessel were also reviewed and strengthened.
Serhii Ruban will be awarded a certificate and a $200 GMT travel voucher for this proactive approach.
We congratulate the crew and Singapore / Fleet 2 HSSEQ Manager and Fleet Manager for their commitment to security and vigilance.
