We are proud to be one of the 850 organizations that have signed the Neptune Declaration on Seafarer Wellbeing.


The Neptune Declaration urges the implementation of four main actions to address the crisis:

  • Recognize seafarers as key workers and give them priority access to Covid-19 vaccines.

  • Establish and implement gold standard health protocols based on existing best practices.

  • Increase collaboration between ship operators and charterers to facilitate crew changes.

  • Ensure air connectivity between key maritime hubs for seafarers.
