INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE SEAFARER WITH THE TRADE UNION

Every year, the Union invites seafarers to celebrate their professional holiday together with their families. On June 25, 2019, more than five hundred people gathered in Private Elling Beach Complex, located near the sea.

For all the event participants the Union prepared multiple surprises, fun contests and tasty refreshments.

The MTWTU hopes that good memories of a wellspent time with the Union will warm the seafarers while they are away from their families during the voyages. Thank you, dear seafarers, for your work!
