Surmounting challenges in Filipino seafarers' voyage

INTERNATIONAL Maritime Organization (IMO) Secretary-General Kitack Lim is inviting every seafarer to look back to 'Your voyage — then and now, [and] share your journey,' as a way of marking the International Day of the Seafarer on June 25, 2022.

For Filipino seafarers, their collective voyage in the last two years was inarguably the best years of their lives as seafarers — notwithstanding the global pandemic that triggered an unprecedented crew change crisis and other serious challenges to their employment.
