Anglican mission calls for recognition of seafarers’ role in migrant rescue

From ENS-

The International Christian Maritime Association (ICMA), the International Maritime Health Association (IMHA) and the International Seafarers Welfare and Assistance Network (ISWAN) have issued a joint press release calling on EU governments to recognize the key role of seafarers in the rescue of migrants at sea.

They have sent a letter to all heads of governments urgently requesting that more resources are mobilized for search and rescue in the Mediterranean.


The Mission to Seafarers, as one of 28 members of ICMA, fully supports this statement.
