Message from HTK on the Occasion of the International Day of the Seafarer – June 25, 2025
To: All Officers and Crew Members of HTK Fleet
On the occasion of the International Day of the Seafarer, June 25, 2025, on behalf of the Board of Directors of HTK Shipping and Import Export Co., Ltd., I would like to extend my sincere wishes for health, safety, and success to all officers and crew members currently serving on board our fleet.
The year 2025 continues to be a challenging one for the global maritime industry, as uncertainties such as trade policies and geopolitical conflicts significantly impact the shipping market. In this context, HTK’s fleet remains resilient, maintaining stable operations and contributing meaningfully to the Company’s overall performance.
This achievement is inseparable from the responsibility, perseverance, and tireless efforts of our seafarers. You are not only the ones who sail the ships through storms, but also the guardians of HTK’s values, reputation, and trust built with clients and partners worldwide. The Board sincerely acknowledges and deeply appreciates your invaluable contributions.
This year, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has chosen the theme: “Seafarers’ Day 2025 – My Ship, My Safe Space: Navigating Without Violence or Harassment” — a powerful message highlighting the importance of creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive onboard environment. HTK is firmly committed to safeguarding the dignity and rights of all seafarers and takes a zero-tolerance approach to any form of violence or harassment.
I hope every HTK ship will always be a “second home” — a place of unity, support, companionship, and growth for every officer and crew member. Let us build a positive onboard culture where all members are heard, respected, empowered to learn, work, and grow together.
Once again, I wish all officers and crew members and your families good health, peace, and happiness. May the entire HTK fleet always enjoy safe and efficient voyages!
Chairman of the Members’ Council
