Congratulations to Stella Maris!

Thankful to the Seafarers for the work they do. So many have not been able to go on leave/go home in a timely manner. This contest below provides an opportunity for you to share your stories.

Survey for international seafarers during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you are currently working on an international vessel, a joint university research team wants to hear about your experiences at sea during the COVID-19 pandemic. https://webropol.com/s/survey-seafarers-during-pandemic

Thankful for the seafarers!

In exactly one week, IMO will be marking the Day of the Seafarer by issuing a strong call for governments to recognise seafarers as key workers. The COVID-19 p...andemic makes this day more important than ever. Seafarers are the unsung heroes of the global crisis, transporting the food and essential foods we all need. They also face tremendous challenges, with thousands of them still stranded onboard ships. Join IMO's call for seafarers to be recognised as key workers, so they can continue to provide their essential services and return home at the end of their contracts. #SeafarersAreKeyWorkers Find out more here : https://bit.ly/2UTOtpc

This NAMMA post is important to read. Prayers for the Seafarers.

The International Maritime Center in the Port of Oakland remains temporarily closed due to the COVID 19 Pandemic and the current shelter in place health care orders for Alameda County and State of California. We will keep you posted. In the meantime, prayers for all the seafarers, your families and the Port communities. Practice social (physical) distancing, good hand hygiene and wear those fancy masks! Blessings and Peace. Nancy

If you have seen this on another web page, please complete this survey only one time. Thanks so much for your help in letting us know what the needs may be as we all hope and plan to open to a new day in the months ahead!

The International Maritime Center remains closed due to the COVID19 pandemic Shelter in Place orders by both State and local Governments and for the safety of our volunteers and the seafarers. We do not expect the orders to change until sometime in May and will keep you updated. Seafarers and Port workers are in our thoughts and prayers during these challenging days for us all. Peace.
