V.Group chief executive of crewing and offshore Allan Falkenberg told TradeWinds that some charterers are now expecting 75% of crew members to be vaccinated, while the reported figure of immunised seafarers is far less.
"That's not going to help the situation," Falkenberg said of the possible labour shortage that some in the industry are predicting following the Covid-19 pandemic and crew-change crisis.
