Celebrating Hari Raya with Seafarers – Prioritising Mental Wellbeing At the Mission to Seafarers Singapore last evening, we hosted a meaningful Hari Raya celebration at our Drop-in Centre, generously sponsored by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). This was not only a time of festive cheer, but also a moment to focus on an increasingly urgent issue in the maritime community – the mental wellbeing of seafarers. The need to support seafarers’ mental health was raised during the recent MPA Seafarers Welfare Committee meeting. As a member of the committee, MtSS proposed incorporating a wellness talk into our celebration – turning an evening of food and fun into an opportunity for learning and support. We are especially grateful to Deepak San, General Manager of NYK Ship Management, who kindly invited the team consistingnn be of Capt Ram and Elyn from Big Yellow Fish to lead the mental wellness session. Elyn delivered an insightful and practical talk that resonated deeply with the nearly 30 seafarers from three vessels berthed at Jurong Port who joined us. Every seafarers left the centre not just with a festive meal and goodies, but also with valuable tools to better care for their mental wellbeing. Special thanks to: • MPA, for sponsoring the F&B and ongoing support of seafarers’ welfare, • Deepak San, for arranging the Big Yellow Fish team, • Our Chairman, Management Committee members, and dedicated MtSS staff, who ensured the seafarers were warmly welcomed and transported to and from the event. We remain committed to creating safe, supportive spaces where seafarers are cared for – both on and off their ships.
