A web site dedicated totally for seafarers in search of jobs, news updates, products, services and other information related to the maritime community is fast becoming a popular |cyber haunt| of the seafaring community. A brainchild of Durgpal Solanki, a seasoned mariner residing here, the portal - www.jobships.com has over 80 companies registered on its rolls and receives about 40000 hits a day. With his vast maritime experience and deeper understanding of the tribulations of the industry, Mr. Solanki felt the need to harness the world wide web to do away with the obsolete and cumbersome methods practiced by the shipping industry, especially in manning of sea going vessels. And, thus was born jobships.com two years ago to fulfill the long felt need for a common platform which would act as a meeting place for companies, institutes and seafarers. The Jobships.com team endeavors to make manning easier, faster and cheaper not only for the companies but also for seafarers, says the portal|s Business Development Executive Chitrakala Varma.
