Seafarers, we are listening

On 25 June the International Maritime Organization (IMO) celebrate International Day of the Seafarer. The theme is a fair future for seafarers. 

This year we celebrate the vital role of seafarers in the fight against COVID-19 and the sacrifices they make to deliver essential services. 

Seafarers cope with challenging working conditions at the best of times-long periods at sea, irregular work hours, high work demands, and long periods away from family and friends. 

Today we're sharing the stories of some of our employees, who started their careers at sea. 

Thank you, seafarers!
