Message by Dean of the Maritime Faculty Kotor on Occasion of the Seafarer World Day

On this day, June 25th, sailors from all over the world celebrate their day. This mini-jubilee, the tenth Sea of ​​the Seafarer Day, is celebrated by this specific profession in special circumstances and faced with unusual challenges. Sailors are these days and months on the shield of the health of the world's population, enabling transport of food, medical supplies and other goods of vital importance. With all that, they also face additional challenges and rarely difficult working conditions. Therefore, the International Maritime Organization is right to launch a campaign to support and recognize seafarers as representatives of the key workforce during the Covid - 19 pandemic.

Deprived of regular logistical opportunities to board and return to their homes, many even faced with a shortage of basic necessities and uncertainty on ships around the world, these days seafarers are gaining additional "certificates" of endurance, mental stability and setting an example for overcoming extraordinary circumstances. Therefore, we owe it to them today, with special gratitude and respect, to look at importance and demanding nature of this profession full of unpredictable challenges and their overall contribution to our society.

First of all, we wish them a happy Seafarers' Day, with the wish that a better, brighter and more promising decade begins in its solemn celebration. Special congratulations to our seafarers, both those who are on ships of companies around the world, and those who are already eagerly waiting for opportunity to join or replace them. We wish a happy holiday to our students - future sailors with the hope that they will continue to improve bright tradition of Montenegrin seafaring, and with promise that the rest of us, with concrete activities we work hard, will do our best to help them!
