Another successful Day of the Seafarer was celebrated on 25 June, with millions of people worldwide engaging on social media under the campaign theme, rCareerAtSea with hundreds of people sharing photos of their life at sea. The result is a mosaic of what a career at sea looks like through the eyes of many maritime professionals around the globe, helping to inspire people to consider a maritime career. The campaign also saw many countries organize events and celebrations to honour those who have chosen a Career at Sea.
Material produced by IMO, including a video animation illustrating how stimulating seafaring can be, reached more than 26,000 views on YouTube alone. IMO also collaborated with UN radio to produce radio interviews in eight languages, which are still available to listen on the IMO website.
