Carisbrooke Crew Conference
The 2019 Carisbrooke Crew Conference took place in November in both Constanta, Romania and Gdynia, Poland. Two locations allow for a greater number of crew members from all over to join the event, which also includes representatives from all departments and employees of other companies.
At the Conference, presentations were made on current technical and operational problems such as the installation of Ballast Water Treatment systems, reduction of sulphur emissions and maintenance of hatch covers. In addition, safety was addressed by providing an overview of the year’s accidents and how they can be avoided in the future. Overall, approximately 15 different issues were discussed over the 2-day meeting.
The Conference was also an opportunity to celebrate Carisbrooke’s 50 years of business. We congratulate Carisbrooke on this “golden jubilee” and wish them 100 more years of success.

Houston Pearl’s new fitness room
MV Houston Pearl’s fitness room under-
went a recent renovation and now features new equipment and better flooring. The change has made a positive
impact on crew morale, says Captain Sergiusz Lipiejko: “Once we changed the design of the gymnasium…more crew members started exercising there, spending time together and less time alone on their computers”!
