For 10 years, Sailors’ Society’s Crisis Response Network has supported seafarers through piracy, shipwrecks, trauma, and war—providing 24/7 care when they need
It was clear that seafarers and their families needed both immediate and long-term support when a crisis hit. And who better to provide this than the charity with a 200-year heritage of maritime welfare.
It didn’t take long for the Crisis Response Network to grow into a free global service with trained crisis responders managing cases weekly, providing 24/7 care and support to seafarers, their families and shipping companies following critical incidents such as piracy, imprisonment, accidents and natural disasters.

I’ve been fortunate enough to never have needed something like this, but with fewer and fewer fun times/adventures/shipmates while going to sea, good that it’s there.
