The Safety Drill competition from The Seafarers’ Charity encouraged crews from fishing vessels to cargo ships and passenger ferries to show us their muster safety drill.

The Seafarers’ Charity, the largest independent grant funder of maritime welfare services, has welcomed Government’s announcement of a new Seafarers’ Charter but wants more to be done to address work patterns that cause fatigue and reduce safety at sea.

A coalition of UK-based organisations concerned about seafarers’ welfare have come together to address abuse, bullying, harassment, discrimination, and violence at sea.

In another key moment to mark Maritime Safety Week, and its commitment to supporting Safer Working Lives at Sea, The Seafarers’ Charity has announced sponsorship of a meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Fisheries meeting – focused on fishing safety.
