No one mentions seafarers

‘Day of the Seafarer’ is coming up soon. That day where we show seafarers our support and gratitude by shouting out loud that ‘Seafarers are Keyworkers'!
But this year, we thought we’d change the concept a little bit and instead call it ‘Week of the Seafarer’. Simply because we believe that seafarers deserve more than just a day to be acknowledged for their extraordinary and enormous effort and sacrifices during the corona pandemic. So, from Friday 19th of June and all the way to Thursday, June 25 on the real Day of the Seafarer, we are dedicating our platforms to pay tribute to seafarers who are experiencing extra-long voyages and are missing home and loved ones. And to all other seafarers who are simply awesome because they make the world move every day.

This is the voice of Chief Cook om board VUOKSI MAERSK, Anders Hjarsø:

"All seafarers who are out there at sea with difficulties of getting home are indeed keyworkers. They make a huge effort so that everyone can go by their everyday lives. They are seafarers who keep the supply chain running with all we need. We hear about front line workers. No one mentions seafarers. They are just as important as health personel in order to make things work.

Please send a kind thought to all seafarers out there fighting for us all."
