Day of the Sea Farer!



Seafarers are indispensable to the world! The campaign theme chosen by IMO this year is “At Sea for All” There is a clear link with 2016 world Maritime day theme – “Shipping Indispensable to the world”.

The day of the seafarer gives us all a chance to reflect on how much we all rely on seafarers for most of the things we take for granted in our everyday lives. This day was established in 2010, to recognize the unique contribution made by seafarers to international seaborne trade, the world economy and to global society as a whole.

Over one million seafarers operate the global fleet yet billions of people depend on them for the essentials and the luxuries of life!

This day dedicated to seafarers is also focusing on maritime education. An enriched career at sea.



Most people go to work in offices, factories and shops, but it's a different picture for seafarers: an office can be a hundred thousand ton oil tanker or a cargo ship navigating the world’s oceans with beautiful landscapes.

Intending to showcase the multi-faceted, maritime world offers a series of rich and fulfilling career opportunities for young people, both at sea and ashore.

Thus, the aim is to engage seafarers themselves to say they are proud to serve a wider cause than just their own careers. Also, enlightened members of the general public to signal their own appreciation of the importance of sea farers – “Seafarers are At Sea for All”.



We, at Elektrans, have consistently strived to uplift the welfare of our seafarers at sea. On this occasion, we would like to celebrate our seafarers and their significant contributions which have aided the company to embark on unexplored paths of globalization. Their relentless efforts to accomplish the objectives of Elektrans have culminated in the company achieving its dreams.
