New Member : The Mission to Seafarers Joins SSI

LONDON, 11 April 2024 – The Sustainable Shipping Initiative today announces The Mission to Seafarers as its newest member, further highlighting the importance of seafarers and seafarers’ rights and welfare in building a sustainable maritime industry.

SSI’s ongoing work on seafarers’ rights and welfare has resulted in the Delivering on Seafarers’ Rights Code of Conduct (developed with the Institute for Human Rights and Business and the Rafto Foundation), and has supported the development of the RightShip Crew Welfare Tool.

Moving forward, and with the added support of the Mission as a full member, SSI will continue to advocate for the importance of seafarers to the shipping sector as it works to decarbonise – as valued stakeholders and experts on the specific challenges of operating a zero-emission vessel and on the impacts of new technologies and ways of working on life at sea.
