Missiles & drones return gifts for Christmas & New Year. Do we deserve it for being a Seafarer?

Is the Passage plan ready? Are the Bridge equipment s switched ON? Are there sufficient Bunkers, Freshwater & Provisions? Are controls tested? Engines Tested? Are all crew onboard? Pilot on board? All cast off… Revolution Full Ahead….This is what seafarers are Trained for and do Day in Day out to move their ship from Port of origin to Port of destination….But for whom do they move.

The People and their wishes to have finished products from across the great oceans  have been as limitless as like the mighty oceans and that sets into motion demand and movement of raw materials from one part of the world to another and the ships play a vital role in connecting the vital raw materials that later transforms into finished products The ships move 90% of cargo, though divided by the  rivers, sea  and the vast oceans, the ships are the connecting lifelines of continents be it Islands or Mainland delivering goods truly worldwide,  they don’t  just deliver goods but deliver happiness, joy and much more to the 7 billion population spread across the world. But who are they who move these ships and goods.

The sea belongs to those few men and women who have taken courage to brave the seas, who are trained and skilled to run the sophisticated ships of today. They go through various training which skills them to handle these machines and there is quite a handful of them in today’s technologically advanced so called modern world. They are the seafarers who work even when the world sleeps, they stand guard to your property as if it was theirs so that they can continue moving it and deliver to you as it was received and as fast as they can. But what are we doing in return for them.

Firing missiles and attacking the innocent and their ships with Drone. In the name of religion, politics, business and what not, we seafarers aren’t trained to handle those and nor do we need to it….we carry and delivery Happiness across the world and not hatred and war….we stay guard to your goods till it is delivered into safe hands but who will look after our safety …we too have families waiting back for our safe returns with smiles on their faces.

We are not here for Arms and War but to carry the same goods which probably fills your stomach or give shelter to your homes or warmth to your body ….and help fulfill not just your essential needs but even your luxurious needs. By blocking the important straits and seas, remember you are blocking your own desires and needs.

Sea is a vital part of our ecosystem protecting mother earth and a means of transportation to trade goods to fulfill almost every need of mankind and it is our livelihood as a seafarer and we shall continue to brave the seas to deliver your Gifts on time every time. For that in return do we deserve the missiles as Return Gifts, it’s time the international community stood strongly with the seafarers.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
