⏳ Just 25 days to go!

On 25 June, we will mark the 2026 Day of the Seafarer under the theme: "Carrying world trade. Carrying the risks."

Seafarers keep global trade moving every day, often working in challenging and sometimes dangerous conditions, including transiting conflict zones and other high-risk areas.

This year's campaign recognizes not only their vital contribution, but also the risks and sacrifices behind it.

Join the campaign and help us shine a light on the people who keep the world connected.
