Successful completion of WAS Training for Seaspan Cadets from China, Ukraine, Romania and India. A mix of Deck, Engine & ETO made the batch interesting. Wishing them all the best as they would soon be embarking on their first vessel! @JohanSmith14 @SailorsSociety @WellnessatSea

Let’s talk #SeafarersDepression 4 a moment. In quoting all the horrific #mentalhealth statistics we often loose sight of the real people behind these numbers. So let’s for a moment remember every seafarer facing the reality of #DepressionAtSea #morethanstatistics @WellnessatSea

Seafarers around the world are missing their Christmas to bring us ours. For almost 1/5, this is compounded by anxiety for loved ones affected by the Ukraine war. Could you help a seafarer who may be feeling lonely, anxious or fearful this Christmas? 👉 sailors-society.org/christma…
