世界海员日&中国航海日向海员致敬之船員探访慰問系列活動 / Crew Visits Series During Day of the Seafarer & Maritime Day of China
為慶祝“6.25世界海員日”並紀念“7.11中國航海日”，香港國際海員服務中心攜手航運企業於6月15日至7月15日共同開展了“向海員致敬，探訪慰問船員”系列活動。
To celebrate the “6.25 Day of the Seafarer ” and “7.11 Maritime Day of China “, the Hong Kong International Seafarer Services Centre (HKISSC) jointly launched a series of crew visits with shipping companies from 15th June to 15th July.
2011年國際海事組織決定將每年的6月25日命名為世界海員日，鼓勵各國政府及航運組織向海員致敬，感謝其對人類和世界的貢獻。根据世界海事主题“MARPOL 50——我们的承诺继续下去” , 2023年度世界海员日将重点关注海员为保护海洋环境所做的贡献。2005年，中国政府决定把每年的7月11日（中国航海家郑和下西洋纪念日）定为航海日，同时也作为世界海事日在中国的实施日期，今年的主题是“扬帆新丝路，奋楫新格局”。
In 2011, 25th June was established as the Day of the Seafarer by the International Maritime Organization. The purpose is to encourage governments and maritime organizations to recognize the contribution made by seafarers to the world economy and civil society as a whole. For 2023, the Day of the Seafarer campaign will look at seafarers’ contribution to protecting the marine environment, in line with the World Maritime theme “MARPOL at 50 – Our commitment goes on”.
In 2005, the Chinese government established Maritime Day on 11th July, which is the anniversary date of Chinese navigator Zheng He’s voyages to the Western Seas, as the implementation of the Day of the Seafarer in China. This year, the theme is about the new maritime silk road.
