The NLNG Shipping and Marine Services Ltd (NSML) proudly announced that it successfully attained its Nigerianisation target, ensuring that 85% of officers onboard its vessels are Nigerian as of December 2022. Abdulkadir Ahmed, the Managing Director\/CEO of NSML, shared this achievement during the NSML Fleet Officers Conference gala night in Lagos over the weekend.<\/p>\n
While addressing reporters, Ahmed emphasized that the Nigerianisation target aimed for a comprehensive inclusion of Nigerian officers managing NSML vessels. Despite being an international company engaged in global business, a strategic decision was made to reserve 15% of positions for foreign seafarers, fostering a cultural mix within the maritime workforce.<\/p>\n
“We reached the milestone of having 85% Nigerian officers onboard our vessels in December 2022, and we are committed to maintaining this balance,” Ahmed stated.<\/p>\n
The NSML Fleet Officers Conference, held biennially, serves as a platform for officers onboard vessels to engage with leadership, socialize, assess the company’s performance, and strategize for the future.<\/p>\n
“Our officers play a crucial role in managing our vital asset, the vessel. The Officers\u2019 Conference facilitates a valuable connection between those at sea and our office leadership. This is the fourth edition, as we couldn’t convene in 2021 due to the challenges posed by COVID-19,” Ahmed explained.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the international nature of seafaring, Ahmed highlighted the uniform global standards regulated by international bodies. The Maritime Academy of Nigeria, according to him, adheres to these international standards, providing the required certifications for officers on oceangoing vessels.<\/p>\n
The Officers\u2019 Conference, both locally and internationally, aims to incorporate a diverse mix of seafarers. While the majority of officers attending the Nigerian conference were Nigerians, the company also facilitated the participation of foreign officers. Similarly, Nigerian officers were included in the international conference, fostering a collaborative and globally connected maritime community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
