Celebrating IMO’s Day of the Seafarer 2021 – A Fair Future for Seafarers!

Let’s us all do our utmost within our power to ensure that from our part, whichever sector of the industry we represent, that seafarers around the world receive a fair treatment!

Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement

Today, on the Day of the Seafarer, we honour all brave men and women who sail the seven seas. At 12pm local time, vessels around the world will sound their horns to give a big shout out to all our seafarers. The initiative – led by the International Chamber of Shipping – also intends to raise awareness that seafarers are still facing major challenges during the ongoing world health crisis. Continuing restrictions make crew changes difficult adding to the already challenging lives of mariners. We therefore urgently call on all governments and international organisations to prioritise seafarers for vaccinations and to give those who have kept our economies alive during the pandemic the support they need. From all of us, to all of you – Thank you seafarers!

This year has been especially difficult for our #seafarers during the #COVID-19 pandemic. As we celebrate Day of the Seafarer today, we acknowledge your dedication and sacrifices made despite the challenges.

We HONOUR and THANK YOU!

Happy Day of the Seafarer!

Cyprus Shipping Chamber

The International Shipping Community celebrated for the 10th year the “Day of the Seafarer”, which was set by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in 2011. This year’s “Day of the Seafarer”, sends messages of solidarity to all Seafarers worldwide for the difficulties they faced during the pandemic but also of appreciation for their continued service and vital role in transporting world trade and all the necessary goods for the prosperity of the people.

In this respect, this year’s theme is “Fair Future for Seafarers”, aiming to raise awareness and safeguard a fairer future for seafarers. The Shipping Chamber, through its Awareness Campaign for Seafarers last December, has already stressed that States should acknowledge Seafarers’ contribution and support them by finding effective solutions to the below issues:

Facilitate vaccinations for all Seafarers. Being key workers, it is important that they are vaccinated the soonest.
Provide immediate access to medical care onshore. Seafarers face continuous delays and in some cases the refusal by Port Authorities and national health authorities worldwide, with regard to their obligation to provide immediate access to medical care onshore to Seafarers, in case of a medical emergency onboard.
Fair Treatment. Seafarers often face criminalisation in the case of maritime incidents. They are detained and denied access to normal rules of fair play and justice with which to defend themselves against criminal charges.

The Cyprus Shipping Chamber in view of this special day and as an active member of the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), participated in a global initiative organised by ICS, through its shipping Member-companies, where they sounded the horns of their ships together with other ships in ports across the world, on the day, at 12 noon local time. The horns of the ships signaled a reminder of the prolonged crisis that the Seafarers are facing due to the pandemic and the repeated calls for their immediate vaccination, in order to safeguard their health so they continue to supply the world with food, fuel and even with the vaccine itself.

On the occasion of IMO’s Day of the Seafarer 2021, we asked our seafarers to share their stories and what a fair future means to them.

Interorient Shipmanagement

The IMO has set aside June 25th each year as the ‘Day of the Seafarer’ in recognition of the invaluable contribution seafarers make to international trade and the world economy, often at great personal cost to themselves and their families. Every year a campaign is initiated to highlight the importance of the Seafarer.

Last year’s campaign brought the crew change crisis to the world’s attention. Almost a year on, the number of crew impacted by the government border restrictions has halved. However, the deadly second and third waves of the pandemic in India and other countries are seeing a return to travel bans for seafarers.

Access to vaccines is also a pressing issue. Over half of the international seafarer workforce is from developing nations that have limited vaccine supplies.

This year’s campaign is aimed at reminding the world of the urgent need to vaccinate all seafarers and the dangers of leaving this unique population unvaccinated.

We take this opportunity to thank our seafarers and their families for the sacrifices they have made and continue to make. Every seafarer has contributed to keeping the world economy running round the clock with precision, diligence and loyalty. We honour you today…and every day.

It is an opportunity to show respect and gratitude to the 1.5 million seafarers worldwide who keep the world supplied, sometimes at a great personal cost.

Intership is taking this opportunity to thank seafarers everywhere for their dedication and to highlight the issue of unfair criminalisation of seafarers. Read about Captain Lasota and his experience at http://www.intership-navigation.com/…/captain-lasota-freed

We are proud to have Captain Lasota and his family share this day with us.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Shipping Deputy Minister Vassilios Demetriades and his Ministry for their support and efforts in promoting crew vaccinations and facilitation of crew changes in a particularly difficult year.

The 2021 Day of the Seafarer campaign pays tribute to seafarers, acknowledging their sacrifice and the issues they face. Many seafarers have been away from home for months and are unsure when they will be able to return home due to travel restrictions.

Seafarers are on the frontline of the Covid-19 pandemic, they play a significant role in maintaining the worldwide supply chains active and the flow of essential goods, such as food, medicine, and medical supplies.

Today we would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to our seafarers and appreciate their hard work to deliver global trade throughout this global crisis.
