Culture and people

With a community of more than

24,000

Seafarers

1,000

onshore employees

across The Caravel Group, one thing is clear: we value our human capital. We are focused on supporting the success and development of our people and creating an inclusive and supportive working environment for our talent to thrive. Material topics for our Culture and People focus area include:

Human resources management

We are committed to delivering industry-leading human capital management, resulting in a signature employee experience for all employees in our companies. Our focus on continuous improvement reinforces our commitment to employee safety, wellbeing, and development - and increasingly strengthens our focus on diversity and our commitment to human rights through all our employment and business practices.

Employee welfare and benefits

We are an employee-centric company. This means ensuring our onshore employees, seafarers and seafarers’ immediate family members have access to medical and other benefits, as well as supporting our seafarers in their transition from ‘ship to shore’.

Non-discrimination and diversity

We know that diversity of talent, thought and experience has been key to our success over the years. We are committed to attracting and retaining the most qualified employees and providing equal opportunities free from discrimination in all aspects of employment.

Human rights

We recognize that respecting the human rights of our employees and seafarers is a non-negotiable responsibility. We adopt business practices that respect international human rights standards and have established a set of internal policies covering health and safety, equal opportunity, non-discrimination, and non-harassment to safeguard the human rights of our employees and our seafarers.

Women at sea

We are investing in women onboard because we believe it will deliver benefits not just to our Company, but also results in a progressive boost to the broader maritime community. In 2021, we signaled our commitment to enhance diversity on board our managed fleet with the onboarding of four female seafarers on different vessels. The Master and crew onboard were required to complete a specially designed training module on ‘Gender Socialization’ and, as part of the onboarding process, FLEET’s Managing Director personally welcomed each officer and established a direct, open line of communication.
