Seafarers are the backbone of global trade, yet their contributions are often overlooked. More than 90% of world trade is carried by sea, and none of it would be possible without the people working on ships.
They face extreme weather, long working hours, and high responsibility to ensure the safety of cargo, vessels, and crew. During global crises, such as pandemics, seafarers continue to work under difficult conditions while being far from home.
Recognizing seafarers means more than just appreciation—it means fair treatment, proper working conditions, and mental health support. Society must acknowledge the vital role they play in keeping the world moving.
Seafarers are not just workers at sea; they are professionals who deserve respect, dignity, and gratitude.
