Relationship between a ship and seafarer? The relationship between a ship and a seafarer is symbiotic. Seafarers operate and navigate the ship, ensuring its safety and functionality, while the ship provides a means of transportation and a living environment for the seafarers during their voyages. It's a collaborative partnership crucial for maritime activities and trade. Seafarers, often comprising a diverse crew with various skills, work together to manage the ship's operations, maintenance, and safety. The ship, in turn, serves as both their workplace and temporary residence, fostering a unique camaraderie among the crew members. This interdependence highlights the essential connection between seafarers and the vessels they navigate, forming the backbone of maritime endeavors worldwide. The relationship extends beyond mere functionality. Seafarers often develop a deep affinity for their ships, considering them not just as vessels but as homes at sea. The challenges of maritime life create a shared bond among crew members, as they rely on one another for support in the face of isolation, unpredictable weather, and the vastness of the open ocean. This shared experience creates a unique sense of community and mutual reliance between seafarers and their ships. #maritime #seaman #sailor #seafarer #merchantnavy #marineindustry #lifeatsea #supreetsachdeva

Today we celebrate Day of the Seafarer and pay tribute to the thousands of seafarers worldwide that are the backbone of global trade. Every day, 13,000 seafarers sailing onboard the beautiful, blue Maersk vessels work tirelessly to keep global supply chains running smoothly, delivering essential supplies such as food and medicine to societies and individuals worldwide. Working onboard a container vessel is not without risk and having a safe working environment is vital. When discussing this with my seafaring colleagues – and observing their work during operations – it is clear that it all comes down to trust. Trust in your colleagues. Trust in the systems and procedures. And trust in the sense that you are able to speak up, ask questions and get clarity when things are uncertain. Trust is so fundamental, but it is not a given – it requires dedication to build it and to nurture it. So, today, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all my seafaring colleagues - for your commitment, for your hard work, and for your efforts in creating an environment of trust that will ultimately keep our people safe. #Maersk #DayOfTheSeafarer2024 #Lifeatsea

International Day of the Seafarer, I can't express my solidarity with seafarers better than the IMO secretary General. He calls for seafarers views on safety tips and how you cope with the mental challenges of a life at sea.... https://lnkd.in/guVja-wy #safetytipsatsea #seafarermentalhealth

I would like to wish all seafarers a happy and safe 'Day of the Seafarer'. Today we recognize the enormous contributions you make to our way of life. Through the dangers of geopolitics and piracy, you continue to feed, energize, and drive world trade as only 'key workers' can. Those who have sailed understand the unique stresses you face and the skills needed to do a safe and professional job. My #safetytipsatsea: If you are unsure - about anything - ask for help. Ask your crew mates, and ask your team ashore. A simple question can save lives.

📍#SeafarersAroundTheWorld 📍 ✅ I was scrolling the daily maritime/LNG news 💻 and I stumbled across the below photo which hit deeply 🌪. ✅ You think it is sarcastic photo but actually it is a fact picture 🎯. ✅ I have been working, and most of the seafarers, with incompetent and even competent but arrogant and bully senior officers/engineers that transform your contract onboard to a nightmare 🔥. ✅ Not only the seafarer sometimes lives his hard time onboard away 🌎 from his family, and this kind of people add the water to the boiled oil for no reason 🚨. ✅ Yes, I call them #Clowns exactly as the below picture is showing and they don’t even deserve ❌ to sail onboard ships. ✅ One of the reasons to become a #Captain was to avoid these red noses 🔴 and transform the atmosphere onboard my ship to the opposite ⭐. ✅ It is overwhelming when a seafarer comes to you and says “Captain please stay more onboard, we are very happy sailing with you” 🙏 ✅ Have you ever sailed with these #Clowns ❓❓ 📷: Danica #shipping #shippingindustry #Seafarers #MLC #Harrasment #Wellbeing

Hi Fellow Seafarer's! Let's set sail with the power of politeness in today's #CrewTip: "Use your please and thank you superpowers, and be kind to everyone. Super manners make you a good crew member." 🌊💫🤝 Here are 3 simple steps to become a super polite crew member: 1. Harness Super Manners: Just as a ship needs its anchor, rely on your super manners to create a harmonious and considerate environment on board. 2. Please and Thank You: Like magic spells, use "please" and "thank you" to express your gratitude and respect. These simple words have the power to make everyone feel appreciated. 3. Be Kind to All: Spread kindness like sunshine. Treat everyone, from your shipmates to fellow sailors, with respect and goodwill. Your kindness will create a warm and welcoming shipboard community. Politeness and kindness are your superpowers at sea.

Today is International Day of the Seafarer, a day when we celebrate and thank our #seafarers for their hard work and sacrifice that keeps our world turning. But it's just a day like any other, and the reality is that all the words of gratitude and social media posts (including this one) mean nothing. Tomorrow marks the 3-month anniversary of the #Dali's allision with the #fskbridge. In those 3 months, we have shown seafarers what we really think of them. We don't appreciate them. We don't value them. To us, they are nothing more than a means to an end. An entry on an Opex budget, whose basic human rights mean nothing to us. What is a day with a hashtag and some generic words of support to all those seafarers who are not paid their contractual salaries; who are denied shore-leave and access to proper medical care: who are abandoned by unscrupulous owners; or who are detained by authorities without proper judicial process (the list goes on...)? I am fortunate to meet so many ship owners, managers and operators who invest heavily in their seafarers' training and wellbeing. Who care about each and every person manning their ships and who are acutely aware of the sacrifices they make for them and for us all. It is not surprising that these entities are far less likely to require my professional services. But we are all responsible for making sure that every seafarer is treated with respect and humanity. We must do more to protect the rights of these people who sacrifice so much and risk their very freedom, just by doing their job. We are all responsible for the wellbeing and safety of our seafarers and for ensuring their most basic human rights are preserved, wherever we send them. #SafetyTipsAtSea #shipping #DotS
