IMO's campaign for Day of the Seafarer
IMO has declared 25th June of each year as the Day of the Seafarer,
recognizing the invaluable contribution seafarers make to international trade
and the world economy, often at great personal cost to themselves and their
families.
The Day of the Seafarer was first celebrated in
2011, following its establishment by a resolution
adopted by the Conference of Parties to the
International Convention on Standards of Training,
Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers
(STCW), 1978, held in Manila, Philippines, in June
2010, which adopted major revisions to the STCW
Convention and Code. The Day of the Seafarer has
now also been included in the annual list of United
Nations Observances.
The Day of the Seafarer provides an opportunity to pay
tribute to the world’s 1.5 million seafarers for the
unique and all-too-often overlooked contribution to the
well-being of the general public.
The Day of the Seafarer is also an opportunity to
educate the public about issues facing the modern-day
seafarer - issues such as piracy. But, most importantly,
it is the occasion for us, the world, to say “Thank you,
Seafarers.”
In support of the International Maritime Organization’s
campaign, they have launched various initiatives to celebrate
this day and honor the seafarers.
