Blog > Improving the lives of seafarers with the new ISWAN digital platform

Written by Martin Sylvester on 8 October 2024

The International Seafarers’ Welfare and Assistance Network (ISWAN) exists to enhance the lives of seafarers and their families through a range of services, resources, strategies, and advocacy efforts.

In 2023, ISWAN initiated conversations around rebuilding their existing web platform, to consolidate their helplines and micro-services into a single streamlined managed solution. Our work  The Mission to Seafarers, and our impact in the maritime sector highlighted the value we could bring to ISWAN, especially our knowledge and experience in the sector.

The strategic requirements included:

– Providing strategic advocacy and wellbeing support to seafarers.

– Enhancing processes and leveraging technology to meet the evolving needs of seafarers.

– Developing a data-driven platform to support ISWAN in making informed, analytical decisions.

– Expanding ISWAN’s reach and visibility by growing their membership network through improved communication channels.

– Attracting a broader funding network to reduce reliance on grant funding.

The new platform is designed to achieve multiple objectives and is aligned with ISWAN’s future strategy. This initiative will move the organisation forward, helping them achieve their long-term objectives while continuing to make a significant impact on the lives of seafarers and their families.
