Seafarers are incredibly hard working humans with a thankless job. They are at sea for weeks at a time but thanks to Covid and changing or unchanging laws, we have seafarers unable to step off ships for more than two years.
Seafarers usually disembark at every port to stretch their legs, see the sites, buy some treats and necessities and most importantly, purchase a local phone card so that they can facetime and call their families back home.
But what happens if they can’t leave the ship?
Listen to Neville Manson explain what is happening here in Victoria and the work that The Mission to Seafarers do to try and support the wellbeing of our seafarers.
