About the Event
On 25 June 2023, the Hong Kong Maritime Museum celebrates the International Day of the Seafarer with free admission and a series of family activities to raise public awareness and show appreciation for the work of seafarers.
The annual International Day of the Seafarer was established by the International Maritime Organization in 2010 as a tribute to the 1.6 million seafarers around the world for their essential contribution to world trade and the global economy. Around 90% of everything we eat, use and consume is brought to us by sea – even during COVID-19 when measures to contain the pandemic around the world posed extra hardships on ships’ crews, including making it very difficult for ship owners to change crews and get their seafarers home.
Sponsored by Hong Kong-based Pacific Basin Shipping Limited, in collaboration with the Marine Department, Hong Kong Seamen’s Union and LumiVoce, the Hong Kong Maritime Museum…
