SHOWING OUR SOLIDARITY TO OUR SEAFARERS Wilhelmsen Ship Management launched a crowdfunding campaign in May 2020 to support the Mission to Seafarers (MtS), one of the
largest maritime charities serving merchant crews around the world. Funds raised by employees, supporters, friends, and the wider industry will be used by MtS to further amplify their existing
programs that have been helping numerous seafarers in this difficult period.
The funding will largely go to:
• Food to families who are hungry and unable to buy food. With
seafarers unable to join ships easily because of the crew change difficulties, their breadwinner is no longer unable to provide and support them.
• Supporting stranded seafarers waiting for repatriation as
well as food vouchers and safe accommodation during their enforced stay.
• Transportation for seafarers from dormitories to their homes,
after mandatory quarantine, due to the local travel restrictions and
enforced lockdown, as well as essential supplies of food and water. 12
