It is not always easy to be a seafarer, especially in these times

‘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 engine cadet on board VENTA MAERSK, Rasmus Mikkelsen:

"Seafarers need a huge high five because they work 24/7 to keep supplies moving all around the world.

It is not always easy to be a seafarer, especially in these times. But when you work with great colleagues from all around the world, we make sure to keep our spirits high and community strong. Even in the daily work, we manage to bring out a big smile when we have been down the quay for 5 minutes to land a cylinder liner.”
