We are dedicated to creating a safer, more inclusive environment within the maritime industry.
From corporate shipping and offshore services to leisure yachts and cruise ships, we work across all maritime industry sectors to provide tailored support to leadership teams, employees, cadets, maritime colleges, and other related charities.
We collaborate with experts in the field, including academics, survivors and external partners such as sexual violence organisations, to ensure the information and tools we provide are rooted in real-world experience and best practices. These sessions highlight the importance of understanding industry-specific challenges, encouraging proactive bystander intervention, and improving diversity and inclusion efforts and can be adapted to other DEI ambitions or initiatives within the organisation.
We also focus on educating senior members of the maritime community about the importance of safeguarding and compliance, ensuring that companies not only meet regulatory requirements but also create an environment where all employees, regardless of gender or background, feel safe and supported. Our training helps organisations attract a wider talent pool, including women and underrepresented groups, by demonstrating a strong commitment to tackling discrimination and harassment at sea.
As the leading global charity supporting seafarers who have experienced sexual violence, Safer Waves is uniquely positioned to bring about meaningful change. We don’t just offer education - we’re driving a cultural shift that encourages openness, respect, and equality across the maritime industry. Through our programs, we help organisations build safer, more resilient workplaces, and we empower individuals to speak up, support each other, and create a maritime community where everyone can thrive.
