We support seafarer wellbeing through our services, partnerships and sponsorships – guided by our mission to make life at sea better.
We focus on the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC 2006) in our maritime services to help our customers across the globe with ensuring their crews’ health, wellbeing and safety through:
We proudly support the Day of the Seafarer, an international campaign led by the International Maritime Organisation to recognise the vital contribution of seafarers worldwide.
In 2026, Garrets marked the day by inviting suppliers across our network to donate treats for seafarers on Garrets-managed vessels and join us in showing appreciation for crews at sea.
Garrets is a member and sponsor of ISWAN (International Seafarers’ Welfare Assistance Network), an international maritime charity working to improve lives of seafarers and their families.
ISWAN cooperates with supporting companies, foundations and organisations to drive change in the maritime industry and support seafarers through access to free helplines and health resources, including mental health awareness training.
Mercy Ships is a charity that delivers medical equipment and life-changing surgeries to people in West Africa who have only little or no access to medicine or healthcare. The charity uses hospital ships and volunteer professionals to deliver free specialised surgical care and medical training to build the local healthcare systems.
We proudly support Mercy Ship’s substantial work. Learn more here.
