In this short On Course video, Captain Vinicius Madruga Santos FNI explores why receiving Seaways is more than just reading a magazine, it’s a strategic tool for professional maritime development. Seaways delivers solid, technical and precise information that helps seafarers stay aligned with new regulations, emerging technologies and evolving industry best practice. In a sector shaped by rapid regulatory change and innovation, access to trusted analysis is critical. This episode highlights: • Why reliable maritime publications matter • Staying up to date with new IMO regulations and compliance requirements • Understanding emerging technologies in shipping • Preparing for future operational and regulatory change • Using professional publications to strengthen your career progression • Developing technical awareness beyond your vessel Shipping is constantly evolving, from digitalisation and automation to environmental regulation and safety reform. Seaways provides structured insight so maritime professionals can anticipate change rather than react to it. For officers, Masters, cadets and shore-based professionals alike, continuous learning is essential. Staying informed through authoritative industry publications is one of the most effective ways to remain competent, competitive and future-ready. If you want to become a better maritime professional, staying informed is not optional, it’s essential.
