In this episode of Future Bound, we’re turning our focus to the heart of our operations - our seafarers. Our unique vessels transport both dry bulk and liquid cargo, requiring highly skilled crews with deep operational knowledge across both segments.

In this episode of Future Bound, we’re turning our focus to the heart of our operations - our seafarers. Our unique vessels transport both dry bulk and liquid cargo, requiring highly skilled crews with deep operational knowledge across both segments.
Joining us in the studio to discuss this were Captain Adrian Dima and Captain Lupsor Cornel, two seasoned seafarers with a combined history sailing on nine of our vessels. At the time of recording they were due to take command of MV Bass and MV Barramundi but before setting sail, they sat down with Future Bound for a candid discussion on what it’s like to sail with KCC.
Together, they dive into the realities of life at sea aboard combination carriers, the challenges and rewards of managing dual-segment operations, and how technological innovation is reshaping the onboard experience. Central to the discussion is a topic we’re particularly proud of: our 90% seafarer retention rate.
In an industry where turnover is common, this number speaks volumes and the episode explores what drives long-term commitment, the impact of career development and company culture, and what truly makes a difference in crew welfare and retention.
