2 seafarers were killed & 4 injured at work. Working at sea is already perilous. Why prioritise low costs & speed over human lives? They power the Australian economy. Their right to a safe workplace must be upheld. #seafarerslivesmatter  i.mtr.cool/nmxycymyxg

In 2023, MTS Aust teams transported and cared for over 100 seafarers that were injured or sick, just like Mark who was recently cared for by the @bunburyseafarers after being medivac'd off his ship. We take them to appointments; ensure they have pyjamas, a phone to call home.

The recent Seafarers Happiness Index report for Q4 2023 saw #seafarers happiness decline to 6.36/10. This steady fall can be partly attributed to a lack of shore leave and an inability to contact family. Read bit.ly/42lZpNK
