Today is Merchant Navy Day, a time to acknowledge the contributions of seafarers responsible for global goods transportation.
The merchant navy plays a crucial role in maintaining supply chains. On St Helena, this significance is acutely felt as the island depends on maritime deliveries for all its goods.
Gratitude is extended specifically to the current service ship, the MV Karoline, as well as past service ships and their crews. The island nation takes pride in its seafaring heritage and values the contributions of its own seafarers to the Merchant Navy.
