Seafarers have a demanding profession both mentally and physically. For many, the job involves risky work tasks and long periods away from family and friends.
The corona pandemic means that many seafarers now face very demanding situations. Travel restrictions and the risk of infection may prevent home travel after the end of the work period, they may be quarantined before and after embarking, and many are not allowed to go ashore in their spare time while the ship is at port.
As consumers, we all depend on the efforts of seafarers and dockworkers worldwide. We would therefore like to thank the seafarers of the world by sending them a visual salute. Feel free to follow up and share your selfie salute on social media with the hashtag #saluteseafarers and use this frame on your Facebook profile!
