If anything positive has come out of the pandemic it is the strong voice that seafarers are using to fight back against the unacceptable conditions they are forced to endure.

They are the shipping industry's workers who have suffered the most from the virus crisis, stuck on ships for months after their contracts have expired, many even without wages.

The seafarer's have hit back with industrial action and social media campaigns and they have called for help at ports where there are people with enough clout to get their concerns heard and addressed.
