It is now more than four years since the deadliest war seen in Europe since World War II began – and through that time, in the face of lethal attacks, unending fear, trauma and risks to their lives, Ukraine’s maritime workers have held firm, keeping trade moving. This week, Stephen Cotton, General Secretary of the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF), and Katie Higginbottam, Head of ITF Seafarers’ Trust, visited the country to learn more about what Ukraine’s maritime workers are facing – and to join discussions focused on ensuring that the country’s post-war recovery puts opportunities for the country’s renowned maritime workforce front and centre.
