LISA Community

LISA is a club for marine professionals. Connect with like-minded professionals, share practical experiences and help each-other to succeed: making sure ships are sailing.

Why?

If you are working in the maritime industry, you have a challenging job. Operational issues, maintenance and repair issues, supplier issues, client issues, dry-docking issues, spare part issues, travel and logistics issues, purchase issues, vetting issues, certificate issues, Class issues, PSC issues, Flag state issues, crew issues, budget issues, internal issues……… 

And there is no manual how to do it
We reckon you have 80% of your work under control. It’s the other 20% unexpected, new or difficult part that consumes most of your time and energy. The issues where you lack the knowledge or miss the right connections to solve it efficiently and effectively. For instance:

• your ship is scheduled for a new sailing area
• your company enters a new market
• there are new rules and regulations to comply with
• you have to assess new technologies

We believe connecting people in a fun and informal way enables us to better deal with challenges in our daily jobs. Sharing knowledge and supporting each other will drive to success in the ever-changing shipping industry.
