“2025中秋佳節海員慰問行動”圓滿收官
HKISSC’s “2025 Mid-Autumn Festival Crew Visit Campaign” Concludes Successfully
為慶祝2025年度中國傳統節日-中秋佳節，在香港商船高級船員協會與香港航業海員合併工會的支持下，香港國際海員服務中心聯合香港海員宗會，攜手航運企業於9月1日至10月3日期間開展了登輪探訪抵港海員的集中慰問行動。
To celebrate the 2025 Mid-Autumn Festival, the Hong Kong International Seafarer Services Centre (HKISSC)—established by the Merchant Navy Officers’ Guild – Hong Kong and the Amalgamated Union of Seafarers, Hong Kong—successfully carried out a crew visit campaign for international seafarers arriving in Hong Kong. The initiative ran from September 1 to October 3, with generous support from Stella Maris and various shipping companies.
中秋佳節（中國農曆8月15日-今年的陽曆10月6日）是中國家庭成員闔家團聚的日子。眾多的海員們卻仍航行於茫茫大海上，無法返家。他們為世界經濟供應鏈的正常運轉默默付出了辛勤汗水。每逢佳節倍思親，香港國際海員服務中心與海員們同心同行，對海員們海上航行的孤獨感同身受。
The Mid-Autumn Festival, observed on October 6 this year, is a cherished time for family reunions in Chinese tradition. Yet for seafarers—who play a vital role in maintaining the global supply chain—this season often means long hours at sea, far from their loved ones. HKISSC stands in solidarity with these hardworking brothers and sisters, recognizing the emotional challenges they face during festive times.
感恩海員，向海員致敬！中心的工作團隊秉承工會的初衷，向抵港的海員們送去了節日的問候與月餅等福利禮包，轉達了香港兩家海員工會對海員的關愛與人文關懷。
As a tribute to their dedication and in pursuit of HKISSC’s mission, the visiting team distributed mooncakes and welfare gift packages to seafarers arriving in Hong Kong, accompanied by heartfelt holiday greetings and care from the seafarers’ unions of Hong Kong.
此次集中慰問行動得到了東方海外貨櫃航運有限公司(OOCL),Seaspan航運公司，Anglo Eastern香港船舶管理公司，香港FLEET管理公司，萬海航運（海豐船務）及太平船務等公司的傾力支持，香港海員宗會的Fr.Valan 神父等亦加入了探訪團隊，令海員獲得更多的精神福祉。
The campaign received strong backing from Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL), Seaspan Shipping, Anglo Eastern Ship Management Hong Kong, Fleet Management Hong Kong, Wan Hai Lines (SITC Shipping), and Pacific International Lines. Fr. Valan of Stella Maris also joined the team, offering spiritual support and encouragement to the seafarers
烈日炎炎與大雨傾盆，工作團隊堅持登輪探訪商船109船次，慰問海員2450余人次，圓滿完成了預期目標。中心採購的物資與紀念品，備受海員喜歡，他們對我中心的探訪慰問紛紛表示感激，對來自香港兩家海員工會的關懷表達了高度讚賞。
Undeterred by scorching sun or pouring rain, the team visited 109 merchant vessels and reached over 2,450 seafarers—successfully meeting the campaign’s target. The provisions and souvenirs prepared by HKISSC were warmly received, with many seafarers expressing deep gratitude and appreciation for the care shown by the two Hong Kong unions.
除合作公司的船舶，中心工作人員亦隨機探訪了57艘其他公司靠泊香港的商船，這些商船很多都與工會簽署有集體協議，隨機安排的探訪慰問活動讓香港的福祉惠及了更多的海員，除中國（內地、臺灣與香港的船員）外，菲律賓、印度、印尼、韓國、緬甸、斯里蘭卡、馬來西亞、烏克蘭、俄羅斯、法國、希臘、羅馬尼亞、克羅埃西亞、南非、迦納等國籍的船員也在活動中收益。
Beyond the vessels of supporting companies, the team also conducted random visits to 57 merchant ships from other operators docked in Hong Kong. Many of these vessels are covered by union collective agreements, and the outreach extended Hong Kong’s welfare efforts to an even broader group of seafarers. In addition to Chinese seafarers from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, the campaign benefited crew members from the Philippines, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Ukraine, Russia, France, Greece, Romania, Croatia, South Africa, and Ghana—highlighting the global reach and inclusive spirit of the initiative.
