This day- 25 June marks a very special day within the Maritime industry.
As SSI we would like to take time to salute the silent heroes who sail beyond borders. To further commemorate this day this year's theme is:
“My Harassment-Free Ship," and in honor of the theme we chose to display an anchor on the poster as a way of symbolizing a core value we share amongst our organization which is RESPECT.
Respect is the strongest anchor so let us continue to build a culture where every seafarer feels safe and valued. ⚓
Happy Day of the Seafarer! ⚓🌊
