SG Dominguez wasn’t there to deliver a prepared speech. He was there to listen.

On June 25, 2025, the global maritime community came together to celebrate the Day of the Seafarer.

Seafarer Social is very proud to have supported Inmarsat Maritime in surveying around 400 as part of the Ship Concept 2035 project.

In the demanding and unpredictable life at sea, access to immediate and reliable medical guidance is not just important—it’s essential.

Before Captain Vinayak Mohla ever stepped foot on a ship, he was already dreaming about the ocean — thanks to Star Trek. Watching Captain Kirk “boldly go where no one has gone before” wasn’t just entertainment. It was the spark that lit the way to a maritime career.

At Seafarer Social, we’ve always believed that careers at sea are about more than contracts — they’re about connection. As it turns out, Turtle Recruitment shares the same ethos.

How will the maritime industry evolve over the next 10, 15, or 20 years?

A wave of change is emerging, led by women who are reshaping the industry.

Social media is no longer just a passing trend—it has become an indispensable tool for growth, connection, and innovation.

Well-intentioned organisations and businesses often advocate for seafarers. But is this what is needed?

As the year draws to a close, we are reflecting on Seafarer Social’s incredible journey through 2024.
