Today is International Day of the Seafarer! It was established in 2010 by the International Maritime Organization to recognize the contribution that seafarers make to our everyday lives. The role of seafarers often goes under-appreciated within the maritime industry and by the general public. Seafarers are an essential component in world trade, keeping the economy moving and delivering the goods and fuels we use every day. Today, over 90% of global trade is done by sea, since it is still the safest and most cost-effective way to transport goods. Thank you to all of the seafarers sailing across the world including our very own. The talented men and women who crew our vessels, are one of the most important reasons that McAllister Towing has been able to deliver safe and unsurpassed service to the maritime industry for 160 years! Bravo to you all and again we thank you! #McAllisterTowing #DayoftheSeafarer #SafetyTipsAtSea #saluteasailor #IMO
Well done!
