'A man's propensity to greatness truly lies in his ability to adapt to whatever situation he finds himself in. With the looming threat to our day-to-day lives due to the pandemic, seafarers are finding it even harder to cope with the constantly changing policies set by political governing bodies. We may be hardened by the difficulties we were able to overcome, but at the end of the day, we cannot set aside the fact that we are still human.'

This quote by Filipino Third Officer Duncan Torres captures the essence of 'Out of Sight, Not Out of Mind', a photo book produced by International Transport Workers Federation's (ITF) Seafarer's Trust.
