Here in Singapore, the hamper gift was a way
of appreciating the contributions of seafarers
onboard vessels. The hamper contained
goodies including food items, entertainment
material and a printed message from the
International Maritime Organisation (IMO).
The joint effort by the MPA and the SOS also
demonstrated the strong co-operation
between the MPA and the Union in
promoting the interests and the welfare of
the seafarers.
The World Maritime Day, which is observed
every year, provides the ideal opportunity to
share the objectives and achievements of the
IMO. This year, the theme for World
Maritime Day is ‘Maritime Security’.
