Day of the Seafarer

June 25, 2024

Boat at sea for 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.

To bring a wave of recognition to Day of the Seafarer on your social media and digital channels, here are some content ideas:

  • Share stories or interviews with seafarers about their experiences at sea.
  • Post a thank you message highlighting the importance of seafarers in our daily lives.
  • Create an infographic showcasing statistics about the shipping industry and the role of seafarers.
  • Host a live Q&A with a seafarer to discuss the realities of life at sea.
  • Share educational content about the different roles and responsibilities on a ship.
  • Feature user-generated content where followers share their connections to seafarers.
  • Post a video tour of a ship, highlighting the living and working conditions.
  • Highlight organisations and initiatives that support seafarers’ welfare.
  • Share quotes from famous maritime figures about the importance of seafaring.
