My husband is a Seafarer. He works on a ship as a technical crew for nine years now. I never knew then that there is an occasion called "Day of the Seafarer" until such this day I received an email from their agency regarding the celebration.

ABOUT THE "DAY OF THE SEAFARER"

In 2010, the Diplomatic conference which met in Manila to adopt milestone revisions to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for seafarers (the STCW Convention) and its associated Code, also agreed that the unique contribution made by seafarers from all over the world to International seaborne trade, the world economy and civil society as a whole, should be marked annually with a Day of the Seafarer. The date chosen was 25 June, the day on which the amendments were formally adopted. (source: http://www.imo.org/)

On June 25 is the celebration of  "Day of the Seafarer". It is a campaign of recognizing the Seafarers and how they enhanced our lives. The company invited the people to support Seafarers by simply send a special messages and greetings by completing the sentence:

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
    I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
    I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
    they will not sweep over you.
