SEAFARERS: THE UNSUNG HEROES

Seafarers are one of those neglected professionals, who have often been overlooked not only by international organizations but also by their own countries. If you make an effort to go beyond their smart uniforms and fancy travel schedules, you will be able to see the tough lifestyle they live and the hardships they endure at sea to make sure the world and its people continue to enjoy their life on shore.

Mentioned below are some of the most important reasons (among million others), for which, each and every seafarer needs to be thanked from the greatest depth our hearts.

1. Seafarers Run the Global Economy

2. Seafarers Sacrifice Their Social Life

3. Seafarers Fight The Toughest Seas and Roughest Weather

4. Seafarers Risk Their Lives Through Piracy and War Zones

5. Seafarers Face Extreme Health Hazards

6. Seafarers Follow Toughest Regulations and Laws

7. Seafarers Work Round the Clock With Monotonous Routines

8. Seafarers Work The Most Without the Basic Rights

9. Seafarers Are At High Risk Of Criminalisation and Abandonment While Performing Their Duties

10. Seafarers Live With Least Accommodation And Communication Facilities 

Seafarers are often seen as happy-go-lucky people, who are always flashing a broad smile both on and off board ship. But there is a lot more to them. They are probably, one of the very few people in the world, who understand the true value of family and work. With the types of difficulties they face at sea, seafarers know very well how to make the most of the free time and enjoy to the fullest. Even though they are aware of the importance of their work, they do not allow it to go to their head. They continue with their duties even if the world, governments and companies continue to ignore them; for they know their time, both on ship and on land, is limited and making the most of that is the only option them have.

We request the people of the world to give a special “THANK YOU” to all the seafarers for the tremendous work they do.

Share this article to as many people as possible – A little bit of respect and appreciation is all a seafarer desires.

August 11, 2022  Concerned Catholics in Nigeria have called for the suspension of Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong for dragging the name of Pope into local politics that has nothing to do with the Church. According to the group, Lalong should be punished for bringing the name of Pope and the Catholic Church to disrepute while giving his reasons for accepting to serve as Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.
