Shipowner groups, unions, and welfare organisations are pulling together in response to the devastating effects of Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines. One of the main concerns is for Filipino seafarers, who represent over 20% of the world's seafarers, to be able to contact their families and loved ones back home.

Seafarers have been anxiously trying to contact families for news following the Filipino Typhoon that has killed more than 10,000 people over the weekend.
