“Without shipping, there will be no shipping, no shopping, and no supply chain.” Today, June 25th is the International Maritime Organization - IMO International Day of the Seafarer. The Day of the Seafarer (25 June) was established in a resolution adopted by the 2010 Diplomatic Conference in Manila to adopt the revised STCW Convention. Its stated purpose is to recognise the unique contribution made by seafarers from all over the world to international seaborne trade, the world economy and civil society as a whole https://lnkd.in/eyJWFNDu

DAY OF THE SEAFARER   The Day of the Seafarer on June 25 recognizes the valuable contribution seafarers make to international trade and the world economy. Let's take a little time today to honor those individuals that sail for long periods of time to provide us with goods. IMO World Maritime Day theme for 2024 is "Navigating the future: safety first!" #dayoftheseafarer2024

International Seafarers Day, let's spend a minute to be aware of this: "The Day of the Seafarer is a time to celebrate and recognize the two million people around the world who operate the ships that carry more than 80% of the volume of world trade. Seafarers are vital in ensuring a seamless flow of essential goods that eventually make it into markets, homes, and onto our tables. Without them, the world would not be able to transport the large quantities of commodities that societies require to survive. But their own lives have been put on the line in the face of grave threats. Attacks on international shipping routes and acts of piracy are unacceptable. Ships and seafarers must not be held hostage and hijacked. Seafarers should not be collateral victims in wider geopolitical conflicts. Seafarers from across the globe provide a vital source of income to their families back home, while on long voyages at sea. Let us together salute them for their essential work and support their safety." ~UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres #safetytipsatsea #Seafarers #IMO

Today, we celebrate the incredible men and women who sail the world's oceans, making global trade possible and connecting communities across continents. As a former seafarer myself, I have firsthand experience of the dedication, resilience, and hard work it takes to keep the maritime industry moving. Seafarers play a crucial role in ensuring that goods and resources reach their destinations safely and efficiently. They face the challenges of long voyages, unpredictable weather, and time away from their loved ones, all to keep the global economy afloat. Without them, the shelves in our stores would be empty, and our economies would grind to a halt. To all the seafarers out there, thank you for your unwavering commitment and the sacrifices you make. Your contributions are invaluable, and today, we honor and appreciate you. Let’s take a moment to recognize the importance of seafarers in our daily lives and support initiatives that improve their working conditions and well-being. 🌍❤️ #DayOfTheSeafarer #Seafarers #GlobalTrade #MaritimeIndustry #SeafarerLife #ThankYouSeafarers #Community #GlobalEconomy

On Tuesday 25th June, we will celebrate International Day of the Seafarer. The annual observance pays tribute to the vital role that seafarers play in supporting global trade and the development of nations and economies around the world. The United Nations recognized the Day of the Seafarer as an observance day, to make it more meaningful & purposeful.    The 2024 campaign is centred around safety tips at sea. It is important that those who work out at sea also understand the importance of their contribution to making the maritime sector a safer workplace. 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. Wishing you a happy Day of the Seafarer. 

In 2023, I lived in the Philippines and had the opportunity to interview hundreds of seafarers. One consistent theme that stood out was the unimaginable events many experienced seafarers had been through - from encounters with pirates and challenging weather to incidents of sinking ships. These experiences were truly breathtaking. The maritime industry must give these unsung heroes their well-deserved appraisal. As someone from the corporate world, I acknowledge that most of us cannot fully comprehend the sacrifices made by seafarers. It's essential to recognise that without seafarers, there would be no shipping - emphasising the critical role they play in keeping the industry and our global economy afloat. NOTE : Notice the second seafarers eyes when he describes how strong the gail weather was. #seafarers #shipping #maritime #merchantnavy #philippines #cadet #crew

I hope for the safe return of all seafarers to their homes, ensuring that no seafarer is left behind by their ship owners, and that no seafarer falls victim to pirate or terrorist attacks during their voyages. #SafetyTipsAtSea #seafarer #shipping #mariners #humansatsea
