Employing fully trained and qualified catering personnel is just as important as ensuring vessels are manned by qualified officers, said training provider Marine Catering Training Consultancy (MCTC).

The maritime industry is struggling to cope with a shortfall in qualified officers with the right skills set to work on vessels. MCTC says catering crew members must not be forgotten in this.
