Spanning across the globe, our o昀케ces host a diverse workforce, bringing together individuals of varied nationalities,
ages, and demographics. Our shore personnel, inclusive
of employees and workers directly a昀케liated with Gearbulk
(excluding those from our terminals as per the de昀椀ned
boundary and scope) possess a wealth of experience and skills
crucial for advancing our business objectives. With a diverse
workforce contributing various perspectives, we bene昀椀t from
a range of insights that enrich our vision.
Our workers
Our workforce comprises a diverse range of individuals including contractors, agency personnel,
and consultants, all of whom make substantial contributions to our shipping operations. These
workers, who do not have a Gearbulk employment contract and whose work is managed by Gearbulk, have their data compiled based on information supplied by the agency and service provider.
Predominantly focused on crewing and technical support, these individuals play vital roles in
ensuring the seamless operation and maintenance of our vessels. Contractors are tasked with a
variety of responsibilities, including vessel maintenance, repair, and upgrades, crucial for maintaining the optimal condition of our 昀氀eet. Agency workers are instrumental in crew management,
recruitment, and deployment, overseeing the sta昀케ng requirements of our vessels with skilled
and pro昀椀cient seafarers. Meanwhile, consultants bring specialized expertise to the table, o昀昀ering
guidance in areas such as maritime regulations, safety protocols, and environmental compliance,
thereby enriching our operational e昀케ciency and compliance standards.
The synergies and collaboration between these diverse roles help to fortify our shipping operations,
reinforcing our dedication to excellence and sustainability in maritime transportation.
Our methodology for calculating the number of employees and workers relies on distinguishing
between those holding employment contracts with Gearbulk (classi昀椀ed as employees) and those
under contractual supplier arrangements (classi昀椀ed as workers). No major 昀氀uctuations have taken
place in the reporting period. Gearbulk has only included direct employment and contractual
supplier agreements in this calculation, excluding the entire supply chain. Notably, temporary
and non-guaranteed hour employees were not included in the employment count as they are
typically engaged through worker arrangements with suppliers.
