Major Shipping Line Gets the Ball Rolling for Latest Seafarers Charity Fund
MSC Stumps Up as Mission Seeks Aid for Sustainable Crew Assistance
UK – WORLDWIDE – The Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) was first in the queue to get the ball rolling in the latest fundraising drive from the Mission to Seafarers which aims to provide a Crew Welfare sustainability programme to ensure that support continues for seafarers as the trials of pandemic continue.
Over the past months the situation for many crews, both aboard and ashore, has worsened and the problems are manifold, not least the state of the mental health for both seafarers and their loved ones. Money worries, depression and loneliness are all magnified by the crisis which has seen families separated for many months.
