DOHA 25 June 2024 — In these extraordinary times, Filipino seafarers — with their utmost skill and professionalism — continue to play a pivotal role in ensuring that maritime vessels get to their destinations across all regions of the world.

Today, on the occasion of the 2024 International Day of the Seafarer, the Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines in Doha calls for measures to ensure the security of all seafarers in all maritime routes.

The Embassy also calls for the immediate release of Filipino seafarers caught in the cross-fire of conflicts and still being held as captives, and remembers the Filipino seafarers who have perished as a result of attacks against international shipping.
