Day of the Seafarer is recognized by the United Nations as an observance day which takes place every year on 25 June.
It is organized by the International Maritime Organization and aims to increase awareness among the general public of the world’s seafarers for their unique, and all-too-often overlooked, contribution they make to the well-being of all of us. The Day of the Seafarer was established in a resolution adopted by the 2010 Diplomatic Conference in Manila to adopt the revised STCW Convention. Its stated purpose is to recognize the unique contribution made by seafarers from all over the world to international seaborne trade, the world economy and civil society as a whole. The resolution “encourages Governments, shipping organizations, companies, shipowners and all other parties concerned to duly and appropriately promote the Day of the Seafarer and take action to celebrate it meaningfully”.
