#seafarer — Public Fediverse posts

Everyone’s watching the narrow passages now where too much of the world’s energy moves through too little space. Nothing’s shut, nothing’s broken. But the margins are tightening. Transit decisions are getting heavier. Insurance, routing, timing; each one leaning just enough to matter.

Full Ahead
Taking #shipSaturday as an opportunity to think of all seafarers who sail the world's oceans. Those who are always on duty, doing their hard work wherever their vessel sails. Too often in questionable conditions. So please take a moment and think of them, maybe while enjoying the great deals at your favorite mall 😊 Big shout out to @seemannsmission who take care of them all over the world.

Day of the Seafarer

Today is Day of the Seafarer. Sincere thanks go out to all the seafarers who work hard every day on the ships and in the ports - always on duty, always on the move, on all waters of the world - often separated from their families for months at a time. Your hard work is deeply appreciated, as is the caring work of @seemannsmission's global network.

Today’s most unexpected recruitment ad, via Telegram.

Contortionist urgently required. Must be a qualified seafarer. Recruitment agency Ukraine-based. If this isn’t the start of a movie caper, I’m the mysteriously murdered body of the lion tamer with a shady past found half-naked in the Cap’n’s cabin.

The Door
And again it is ship Saturday. Strong doors will also be safe when it's rough again. Maintenance, drill, seamanship. Day in and day out. I really appreciate what seafarers do every day to make sure the ship reaches its destination safely and on time.

Engine View
This Ship Saturday is again a good opportunity to thank all the seafarers who do their hard and often dangerous work all over the world. Three to nine months. Seven days a week. More or less all the time on duty or on call. And a thank you to @seemannsmission, which operates a worldwide care network for all of them.

ICYMI: a couple of weeks ago I published an article for @NWBylines on #Seafarer abandonment & how what it might imply for the wider issue of labour relations across the global political economy...

The Q. is: is the plight of seafarers the thin end of the wedge?
