NO SHIPPING
NO SHOPPING
No Shipping! No Shopping!
Thank you, seafarers!
A campaign of Stella Maris Scalabrinian Network
Seafarers provide a significant contribution to the global economy by moving about 90% of the goods in the world.
Shipping reaffirmed its vital function as the artery of global trade and food supplies when, during the pandemic, seafarers continued working for the benefit of societies and economies around the world. The societies could not have survived without the endurance and sacrifices of the crews that face challenges, inhumane a lot of time, onboard.
Stella Maris Scalabrinian Network is promoting
#NoShippingNoShopping
Scalabrinians believe that the most effective way of improving crew well-being and of building a more efficient industry is by collaborating across the industry with stakeholders, organizations, and governments by creating awareness of the vital contribution of seafarers and fishers around the world, especially their experiences. Awareness can be created while supporting them, including their mental well-being.
This campaign foresees involvement from different organizations and sectors working for the well-being of seafarers.
Get ready to set sail, because June 25 is the Day of the Seafarer.
Short history of the Day of Seafarer:
This is day for seafarers of all stripes, from Coast Guards to Navies, to every fisherman and marine biologist and cruise ship captain. If your job involves a large quantity of saltwater, then this day is dedicated to you.
The first documented sea voyage was made around 3200 BCE, and was bankrolled by the Egyptian Pharaoh Snefru. Today, over 90% of global trade is done by sea, since it is still the most cost-effective way to transport goods.
Marine biologists and oceanographers from every country have dedicated their lives to learning more about the ocean depths, and humans from every walk of life keep going to the sea to explore the planet
