June 25th marks the internationally-recognized Day of the Seafarer. Created by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in 2011, this special day aims to recognize and increase public awareness of the indispensable role of seafarers in the world economy and society in general.
On the occasion of the Day of the Seafarer, I would like to honour the hundreds of men and women who every day work on CSL’s ships and are the driving forces behind our company’s success. On this day, the world recognizes the important socio-economic role of seafarers and the unique and demanding nature of their work. CSL is honoured to pay tribute to our seafarers today and every day.
Rod Jones, CSL Group President and CEO.
In recognition of the “unsung heros” of the industry, the IMO is encouraging people to share images of seafarers on their social media networks:
