CHARITY PLEA: URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED FOR INDIAN SEAFARERS AND THEIR FAMILIES
Circular Ref: A(21)79
Issue Date: 05 May 2021
Members are urged to contribute to the Seafarers International Relief Fund that is launching this week as part of a collaborative effort between ICS and leading maritime charities to help Indian Seafarers and their families that are impacted by the current COVID-19 crisis.
Members are invited to take note and donate generously to the new Seafarers International Relief Fund that will go live today.
The ICS helped coordinate the creation of the fund, which is led and run by maritime charities, after being approached by numerous ship owners and managers to see what could be done to help Indian seafarers and their families affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
ICS has coordinated with leading maritime charities including the Seafarers’ Charity, The Mission to Seafarers, ISWAN, Sailors’ Society and Stella Maris to set up the Relief Fund which will serve as a central fund to respond to the increasing and desperate needs of seafarers resulting from the pandemic. Its initial focus will be to assist Indian seafarers and their families, but the Fund will also help seafarers across the world.
