“…Although China has a seafarers’ union, the Chinese Seafarers and Construction Workers’ Union (CSCWU), under the current political setup, is considered to be ingenuine and ineffective in representing workers when labor disputes occur (Tang et al, 2016a; Tang and Zhang, 2021; Zhao and Tang, 2023). In fact, trade unions in China are required to “help the governments achieve economic goals through maintaining stable labor relations” (Qi, 2010: 16).…”

Research on seafarers and the Internet so far has focused primarily on Internet access onboard ships. It frames Internet access as a welfare issue concerning seafarers’ communication with their families. This paper expands the focus to examine how seafarers use the Internet and social media to build and extend their social networks for reciprocal support and solidarity. Taking a case study approach, this paper examines two cases of Chinese seafarers protecting their rights online. The data were collected from relevant Internet and social media sites in 2022. The two cases demonstrate that the Internet and social media provide social spaces for Chinese seafarers to expand their social networks and form online professional communities, which afford them new resources to defend their rights and protect their interests. In the context that the Chinese seafarers’ union does not function to represent and help seafarers in labor and employment matters, these resources are particularly salient.

This research aims to analyze vessel crew rotation during the COVID-19 pandemic at a national shipping company. Before the pandemic, vessel crew recruitment was carried out based on company procedures safely and on time. In contrast to when the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, the vessel crew recruitment and rotation system significantly changed. Concerns about being infected with the deadly COVID-19 virus have made vessel crew rotations unpredictable and scheduled on time. Mapping and identification of vessel crew rotation variables dynamically using the causal loop diagram (CLD) technique. This model shows that the vessel crew rotation process requires handling, quick adjustments to the existing situation, and planning strategies on the vessel crew rotation during this pandemic. The CLD analysis results show that in systems thinking, vessel crew performance and company performance have the highest impact. The delay in implementing and handling the vessel crew rotation will affect the company’s reputation. Also, it may result in the termination of collaboration between the company and the recruitment agency, resulting in distrust in the company.
