environment. Today FOSMA has an updated web presence (new websites and

social media), and we look ahead to embrace and integrate the latest
technology to our core processes and training aids. We are also delighted to

inform the resumption of our Safety & Operational Excellence (SOPEX) & Your
Health 360 (YH 360) programmes at our new ofce premises. We have
partnered with ISF Group & 3CUBE for the two initiatives which run as an

integrated module. It is a proven fact, a workforce that is healthy & well, rates
high on the happiness index and is amenable to working in a safe and compliant

manner. This, in turn, improves overall productivity and performance - a win-win
for all!”

Another feature has been my personal transition to the CEO role at FOSMA.

Following my superannuation from V Ships after nearly 34 years, the FOSMA
Board invited me to take on this position. Since I have been involved with the core
functioning of FOSMA for decades now, this helps me to understand the

environment in which we work and I am hopeful that I can add value to the
members in the service the association has to offer.

The FOSMA Beacon is a doorway to let you all inside our service portfolio. This

2023 issue of the Beacon gives a summary of what we have done in 2022 and
what we have in mind for the subsequent months to follow. There have been

some exciting changes in our industry. While some stalwarts have
superannuated, some younger leaders have taken over in some of our member
companies. You will nd some of them featured in this issue through their articles.

I would request you all to spend some time on this issue
and to give us your valuable feedback on what you

would like to see in our future ones. At the end
of it all I would say that the uncertainty of the
previous years has made us stronger and

of course a lot wiser and now we know that
whatever life throws at us, there's always

a 'Beacon' of hope to do well upon

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe
