AHOY! Mateys

Did you know. . .?

  • Over 90% of our everyday stuff (jeans, cell phones, beverages, cars) comes to us on a container ship?
  • The seafarers who work on these vessels are away from home an average of 9 consecutive months?
  • Container ships don’t stop for poor weather, holidays, or sick days, and their crew can’t ‘work from home.’
  • We lead comfortable lives because of the work of seafarers.

Let’s let more people know!
