In honour of the Day of the Seafarer, we recognise the vital contributions of the people who navigate our oceans and facilitate global trade. Happy Day of the Seafarer to seafarers around the globe.
“Carrying world trade. Carrying the risks.” This year’s Day of the Seafarer theme set by the International Maritime Organization is a timely reminder of the responsibility and weight carried by those serving at sea every day.
At Anglo-Eastern, we hold dearly to the belief: if we take care of our people, our people will take care of our ships, our clients, and of each other. Today and every day, we remain committed to supporting our seafarers, whether through our shore teams, welfare programmes, training initiatives, security support, or simply through regular communication.
In this video message, our CEO Bjorn Hojgaard speaks about seafarers’ vital role in global trade, the risks they face, and our long-term approach to taking care of our people at sea, as we join the maritime community in marking this important day and expressing our sincere appreciation to seafarers worldwide.
