Hear from our President, HRH The Princess Royal, about why you should take on the challenge.
In the words of the Missions’ Secretary General, Andrew Wright,
Seafarers have been amongst the most heroic of key workers during this pandemic. They have kept vital supplies moving, despite facing unprecedented and often appalling hardships. These have included the crew change issues that have kept so many of them working long beyond their contract ends. And yet, in a recent survey, when asked if they felt valued in their role, only 8% of crew strongly agreed. 28% disagreed, suggesting they did not feel valued at all. This is so sad. “Sea blindness”, as it is often called, has been a reality for a very long time.Andrew Wright – Secretary General, The Mission To Seafarers

Welcome to Japan! First of all. By the time we meet together at the MtS Adventure Race Japan in 2023, we must be embracing the new glory of our industry post pandemic. Just like ports connecting sea and land, our seafarers are connecting shipping and terminal communities. If we don’t support them then who will? If not now, then when? APMT Japan is proud to stand by Mission to Seafarers.Sakura Kuma – CEO, APM Terminals Japan
