Day of the Seafarer

Day of the Seafarer takes place on 25th June every year, celebrating the invaluable contributions of seafarers to the global economy and international trade.

Day of the Seafarer was established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2010 to recognise the unique and vital role that seafarers play in transporting goods and people across the world’s oceans. This day aims to raise awareness about the challenges seafarers face, including long periods away from home, difficult working conditions, and the critical need for fair treatment and safety at sea. It also serves as an opportunity to express gratitude for their dedication and hard work.
