VIDEOTEL LAUNCH A BRAND NEW STYLE OF PRODUCT: 'SEA NEWS'

25 April 2007

This latest innovation in the Videotel catalogue details the responsibility of living and working at sea. Produced in association with Steamship Mutual, Sea News is presented in the popular magazine style format of programming.

It combines documentary footage, interviews, dramatised reconstructions, and animation to keep seafarers up to date with all the latest industry developments.

Each instalment of Sea News provides a thought provoking insight into a real life shipping casualty through dramatic reconstruction. Detailing the cause and effect of accidents, this section helps to highlight the consequences of human error to seafarers. At the end of each programme, a practical summary offers possible solutions to preventing accidents before they happen.

In addition, Sea News  keeps seafarers up to date with topical issues by talking to those involved. Every programme interviews key industry figures- for example, the first issue covers the ILO Maritime Labour Convention.

The video provides essential information and advancements in the world of shipping in a stimulating and interesting manner, increasing awareness to all that work in the industry. Over 25-minutes, this topical programme includes interviews from the industry’s leading experts, special case studies, and report features- a must-see for every seafarer.
