Marlow Navigation celebrates Day of the Seafarer 2016 on June 25, and says "thank you" to all its crew around the world.
"Seafarers are truly the unsung heroes that make world trade go round," states Joint Managing Director, Marlow Navigation, Andreas Neophytou. "Day of the Seafarer is a great day that helps raise such awareness and pay our respects to all seafarers and their invaluable work."
This year, International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Day of the Seafarer campaign wants to celebrate seafarers and let the world know how and why seafarers are indispensable to everyone. The campaign theme this year is: "At Sea For All".
The theme has a clear link with the 2016 World Maritime Day theme, "Shipping: indispensable to the world", emphasising that seafarers serve at sea not just for the shipping industry or for their own career purposes but for all of us – and, consequently, they are also "indispensable to the world".
"This year, on June 25th, the Day of the Seafarer, we are once again asking people everywhere to show their appreciation for the seafarers that quietly, mostly unnoticed, keep the wheels of the world in motion," said IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim.
Spread the message on social media using the campaign hashtag #AtSeaForAll. See more great photos from Marlow's Day of the Seafarer 2016, visit Marlow on Facebook
