During the 2020 pandemic, our staff globally showed their support towards our Seafarers.
We asked them to share motivating messages of peace and hope for our hard-working crews.
A truly amazing initiative which received a lot of attention showcasing what we are capable off when facing difficult situations together!
Enjoy some of the submissions that were shared with our Seafarers while they were on-board.
