⚓ **Day of the Seafarer 2026** ⚓

Today, on the Day of the Seafarer, we join people around the world in recognising and celebrating the men and women whose dedication keeps global trade moving.

This year's theme, **"Carrying world trade. Carrying the risks,"** highlights not only the essential role seafarers play in our daily lives but also the challenges, pressures, and risks they face while working far from home.

At Mission to Seafarers Belfast, we are privileged to welcome and support seafarers from across the world who visit our port. Behind every ship that arrives in Belfast are individuals who often spend months away from their families, working tirelessly to ensure that communities everywhere receive the goods and supplies they depend upon.

Today, we give thanks for their courage, resilience, and commitment. We also reaffirm our commitment to providing friendship, practical support, and pastoral care to seafarers whenever they come ashore.

Please join us in recognising the invaluable contribution of seafarers and in praying for their safety, wellbeing, and protection wherever they may be serving.

🌍 Fair winds and following seas to all seafarers.

This week we had the pleasure of the company of the crew from MV Maina in Belfast. Many had the chance to visit our Flying Angel centre and spent time relaxing and enjoying our facilities. There were a few talented crew playing our guitars 🎸 and singing 🎶 . It turns out they didn’t have any musical instruments on ship so before departing our chaplain had the pleaseure of delivering a guitar to the crew on board.

Also we found out 2 of the crew had young children at home so were able to gift 2 knitted teddys very kindly made and donated by some of our very generous supporters.

To the crew SALAMAT🙏 and we hope to see you again.
