Day of the Seafarer: My Harassment Free Ship
On this special episode of Columbia Group Unplugged, we mark Day of the Seafarer with a powerful conversation on building harassment-free ships.
Simona Toma, Capt. Leonid Zalenski, and Anca Preda—maritime leaders with deep seafaring experience—share personal stories, challenges, and the steps Columbia Group is taking to ensure every crew member feels safe, respected, and supported at sea.
From open-door leadership to reporting systems and training, this episode sheds light on what it takes to create real change onboard—and why a safe ship is everyone's responsibility.
