Dear All,
Good Afternoon,
We are very satisfied with your initiative action to make tele-session with our vessel and that Potentia is part of these tele-sessions. We find the tele-session very educative and mind awakening for us. The topic today was about resilience that is a matter of great importance for our mental and physical health especially now with the world crisis of Corona Virus the stress and the anxiety pressing us more and more every day. Very helpful was the words from Mr. Naoum that give us examples in order to understand more accurately the meaning of a resilient mind/ attitude. Mrs Chrysoula also illuminated us with more useful information and practices for having resilient attitude on board. These tele-sessions are a way to bounce back from these problems.
In addition the gymnastic exercises that Mr. Ntenis present to us are a way to relax your body and your mind from the stress. With your guidance we can also advice and support the ratings on the forthcoming meeting and resilience training that will be carried out on board.
We thank you and we appreciate your assistance and understanding at these difficult times.BEST REGARDS

Good day,
Reference to your below I would like to express my opinion regarding “ON-Board live tele- sessions” that carried out with “Potentia”.
First of all I would like to mention that in these challenging times, more than ever, seafarers are required to take care of their wellbeing since the new corona virus has created new fears to deal with, i.e. the fear for their health and the health of their loved-ones, as well as fatigue due to extended service onboard. Meanwhile, the impact of COVID-19 on seafarers seems to be neglected from IMO, ILO etc, as crews are under pressure to do their jobs effectively and keep the world trade moving, while there are severe restrictions and new obligations when calling at ports. The feeling of fear and doubt on how the crisis will evolve has led to stress and panic, that affects the seafarers during their everyday routine.
My crew accomplished very important achievements. We have managed to perform all operations, vetting, port state controls ,surveys etc with safety and professionalism and most important we took the soonest all precaution derived from “Covid outbreak Management Plan” and managed to keep covid-19 completely off our vessel, in places where pandemic wave was peaking (such as Asia and USA).
Furthermore we tried to focus on training and prevention measures in order to not intensify our anxiety. We try not to make COVID-19 the center of attention as discussions around the rapid spread of the new corona virus, which have a huge impact on people’s mental health.
The interactive discussion between my crew, “Potentia” and our head office was a great opportunity for all officers to express their feelings. At the end of the session a discussion among all participants, regarding the implementation of this project on board, carried out. Development of such a project would be useful. A better understanding of co-workers believes fears and thoughts achieved. Meanwhile resilience will help to manage
the stress in the workplace and help to recognize the early warnings sings of a stressed shipmate and therefore to intervene.
Finally I strongly believe that solidarity, resilience, patience are key words to cope with COVID-19. We need to stay safe and have faith for the better days which will eventually come. Knowing that people ashore feeling our situation and being fully aware about the issue will boost crew self-confidence.Best Regards
Master
