The organization all decided that the participation made by seafarer to world business and economy should be identified by means of a unique day. 25th June, 2011 was selected because it was the day on which changes were created to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch Keeping for Seafarers.
The day is considered to pay honor to the planet's 1.5
million seafarers. Shipping is the soul of world economy & of more
than 90 percent of world trade, and it is seafarers who ensure the circle
operates easily, providing the essential items and merchandise on which the world
rely.
The International Day of the Seafarer this week (Monday, 25
June, 2012) which aims to pay tribute to the world’s 1.5 million seafarers. This
Day of the Seafarer, we would like to highlight the special intricacy that seafarer
deal with everywhere. Right now, the
greatest immediate risk seems to be piracy.
However, sailors keep dealing with difficulties from poor working
conditions, office risks and other risks in their atmosphere.
Mariner’s Planet salutes all the seafarers who were upfront
in every situation and conditions to serve us.
