25th June – The International Day of the Seafarer: Honouring the Heartbeat of Global Trade and their Families
By Soma Sundar Gollakota
Co-founder & CEO
The International Day of the Seafarer resonates deeply with the essence of global trade, with the steadfast support of loved ones back home.
Today, we reflect on the invaluable contributions of seafarers to international maritime trade and the global economy. From the food we consume to the technologies we rely on daily, much of what sustains our modern lives, traverses the oceans under their diligent care and expertise.
However, it is important to remember that every seafarer is supported by a family, silently enduring the challenges of long separations and the constant concern for their loved ones’ safety. Often unnoticed and unappreciated, these families offer unwavering support, clinging to the hope of their safe return.
Today, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to the seafarers and their families across the globe. Their unwavering commitment and resilience ensure the seamless functioning of global commerce.
On this International Day of the Seafarer, we salute these unsung heroes of the seas and their families, the true heartbeat of global trade. We invite you to join us in this celebration, whether it’s by sharing your own stories of seafarers or simply taking a moment to appreciate their contributions.
