"I am proud to be one of the hundreds of thousands of seafarers working around the world"

‘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 O/B on board Cap SAN AUGUSTIN, Emmylou Sinagan:

“Happy International Seafarer’s Day!

Thank you to all seafarers around the world! Thank you for working hard and doing extraordinarily great during this time of uncertainty. I know that all of mankind have been through a lot but despite all these, we managed to stay afloat.

We are still courageous, resilient and persevere in this difficult time. Amidst our dangerous and challenging job along with great sacrifices, we selflessly continued our passion, remained safe and healthy throughout this Covid-19 crisis. I am proud to be one of the hundreds of thousands of seafarers working around the world. Job well done to us all!

I do wish and pray for our safety and good health as we continue to serve and run the global economy. Until we can finally go home to our families, we can do this! Again, I salute and respect all of us seafarers, the heroes of the modern generation.”
