MISSION to Seafarers has raised $1.3m through its Adventure Race Japan fundraising
challenge to support seafarers’ welfare.
The three-day event
organised by the Christian welfare charity serving merchant crews around the
world ended on May 21. It involved 64 teams from 19 countries competing in the
“Green Dragon” and “Black Dragon” races on the Izu Peninsula in harsh weather
and mountainous terrain.
Participants included 37 women and 155 men from
Japan and Singapore, with ages ranging from 22 to 65.
The funds will be
allocated to several key areas of Mission to Seafarers operations, with a
significant portion going to its Emerging Port Strategy 2022-2026, which aims
to provide a strategic approach to new and existing operations in Asia and
globally.
The rest will be used
for more sustainable practices, creating green spaces for maritime workers at
seafarer centres, and establishing key welfare hubs in Singapore and Rotterdam.
The funds will also support the seafarer group’s
family support network in the Philippines and India.
The organisation said
the fundraising event has demonstrated “the solidarity and commitment of the
international maritime community and the Japanese shipping industry to
seafarers’ well-being”.
“Life can often be an
uphill struggle, especially so for seafarers in recent years,” said Mission to
Seafarers secretary-general Canon Wright. “The outcomes have surpassed all that we might have hoped.”
Sponsors of the event include Swire Shipping, Swire Bulk, APM Terminals Japan, Arrow Sale & Purchase (UK), Shoei Kisen Kaisha, Fleet Management, Mitsui OSK Lines and Ocean Network Express.
