In opening the conference, Mr Sheshashayee said that Jaya had changed dramatically in the past two years and was gradually being recognised as an international energy services provider.
The focus was now on reinforcing the Jaya offshore and onshore teams with high quality training and the experience and ability to compete on a global basis. He noted that the Jaya Group, thanks to its home base in Singapore in the heart of Asia, was ready to take advantage of the fundamental shift of economic activity from the West to the East. He told officers: “Jaya is perfectly placed to take advantage of these huge changes now taking place in the world economy. We can see that in future the balance will be tipped even more to the East and towards Asia.” He noted that Asia’s challenge was to gain greater momentum in the creation and development of technology, not just in the offshore domain, but technologies which drive and underpin all economic activity.
The conference theme was growing the role of the Indian seafarer with the Jaya Group as a global offshore vessel operator. 2 Topics included an elaboration of the ‘Jaya Way’, the group’s continuous competence development, crew safety and quality and Jaya’s newly developed integrated safety management system.
