A vessel crew change refers to the process of replacing the current crew on a ship with a new crew. This typically happens at a port or other designated location, and can be done for a variety of reasons, including the end of a crew’s contract, illness or injury of a crew member, or scheduling conflicts. The process of a crew change can include the transfer of personnel and their belongings, as well as providing orientation and training for new crew members. It’s important to be done with proper planning and coordination to minimize disruption to the vessel’s operation and to ensure the safety and well-being of the crew.
