Previously, during the COVID-19 pandemic, crew changes were disrupted and seafarers were required to remain onboard for longer than originally anticipated. At that time, we shared messages of support with our seafarers.
Currently, due to conflicts in the Middle East, our fellow seafarers who work tirelessly at sea to support the everyday lives of people around the world continue to face difficulties returning to their home countries and families. With deep appreciation and support for seafarers worldwide, we have produced this video message as a way to connect them with their families and loved ones. We invite you to watch this message of encouragement for our colleagues working hard at sea.
