Every year on June 25.

What is International Day of the Seafarer?

International Day of the Seafarer, observed on June 25, honors the nearly 1.9 million merchant seafarers who keep global trade moving — carrying roughly 80% of world merchandise by sea. Established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2010 and first observed in 2011, the day shines a light on seafarers' rights, mental health, and the often invisible sacrifices of those who spend months away from family on the open ocean.
