Our biggest benefactor for success is our people that have dedicated their time and energy in building what we have today. Wilhelmsen Ship Management takes pride in building diverse and inclusive teams, with respect for each other's culture and ideas.
As a part of Wilhelmsen’s talent management framework, the Leadership Potential programme was established to ensure we have a pool of leadership potentials ready to drive the development of Wilhelmsen forward.
In the changing competitive landscape, it is important that we all stay relevant through continuous learning and development. We have invested in a large library of courses from LinkedIn Learning for employees to proactively take charge of their own development.
Our International Maritime Training Centre is equipped with the latest simulators with scalable infrastructure that can be enhanced with additional software and hardware (new components) to develop our crew's skills.
