International Maritime Organization (IMO) has released a short video message from the IMO Secretary-General, Kitack Lim about this year’s theme for Day of the Seafarer (25th June).
For 2023, the campaign will look at seafarers’ contribution to protecting the marine environment. Seafarers see the seas on their voyages, and this provides many opportunities for them to take pictures of the marine environment. To all the seafarers, IMO is asking to share a picture of the marine environment using the hashtag #OceansWorthProtecting.
