"25th June of each year is the Day of the Seafarer

"25th June of each year is the Day of the Seafarer, recognizing the invaluable contribution seafarers make to international trade and the world economy, often at great personal cost to themselves and their families." - International Maritime Organization (IMO).

We celebrate the AMSOL personnel who have served faithfully aboard the SA Agulhas 1 and 11 over the years.

Happy UN World Oceans Day!!!!! Celebrated every y

Happy UN World Oceans Day!!!!!

Celebrated every year on the 8th June and this day serves as a reminder of the major role oceans have in our everyday lives.
.
The theme for this year’s United Nations World Ocean day is “Life and Livelihood”. This theme is also in line with the declaration of intentions that launched a decade of challenges to reach the Sustainable Development Goal 14, “Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources”, by 2030.
.
.
.

This highlights the need to conserve our wonderful marine resources for future generations.
