Empowering Crew Connectivity and Learning
NexusWave also supports crew welfare by ensuring seafarers have access to consistent internet services for staying connected with family and accessing online learning platforms. This initiative aligns with Sallaum Lines’ commitment to creating a happy and supportive onboard environment and advancing seafarers’ personal and professional development.
