The International Seafarers’ Welfare & Assistance Network has, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, decided to raise $1m for seafarers in India and other countries.
ISWAN on its website said, “Leading seafarer welfare charities and shipping industry players have launched an emergency relief fund in order to support seafarers and their families devastated by the rampant COVID-19 pandemic in India and other countries.”
“Seafarers have been the invisible victims of COVID-19, with hundreds of thousands marooned on vessels for months beyond agreed contracts, in some cases.
“Despite suggestions that the crew change crisis was near its end, the escalation of COVID-19 cases in India to more than 400,000 per day has prompted some major ports to prohibit ship crew changes for seafarers with recent travel history to India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
Seafarers International Relief Fund launches fund to help India’s seafarers
As the COVID-19 crisis in India intensifies, seafarers and their families need help from the industry. The Seafarers International Relief Fund (SIRF) is establishing a fund to respond to the increasing and desperate needs of seafarers resulting from the pandemic.
The pandemic continues to spread across India and SIRF has recognised that practical and emotional welfare support will be needed in many guises for Indian seafarers and their families. SIRF has been in contact with its teams on the ground in the country and through surveys with key stakeholders to get an understanding of the needs and the situation.
