Seafarers' welfare

Our mission: “Expert care - making our customers' life at sea better!” emphasizes that we go beyond the hard core competitive parameters to make a difference. All we do ends up in the hands of a seafarer, offshore or navy crew and thus affects their motivation and wellbeing.

Therefore, we invest in different projects and support organizations aiming to improve the wellbeing of the seafarers.

Day of the Seafarer

We proudly support "Day of the Seafarer" - a campaign run by the International Maritime Organization (IMO)

We have sponsored events for the seafarers and their families to enjoy, handed out “Thank you all Seafarers!"–coffee mugs and had our boarding officers take photos of the seamen and posted them together with greetings to their family and friends. 

Recent years, we have celebrated Day of the Seafarer together with Sea Health & Welfare and Garrets International, where we hand out cakes to the seafarers in selected ports. You can see a quick video from the celebration in 2021 below:
