The Day of the Seafarer is observed every year on June 25 to recognize and honour the vital role that seafarers play in global trade and the functioning of the world economy. In 2025, the celebration focused on the campaign ‘My Harassment-Free Ship’, emphasizing the urgent need to eliminate bullying and harassment at sea. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) led this campaign, advocating for safer and more respectful working environments aboard ships. The observance aims to foster a maritime culture of equality, dignity, and mental well-being, calling for systemic change in shipboard life and leadership practices.
