TF and ICS are encouraging this gesture of solidarity to recognise over 1.6 million seafarers around the world. They are the unsung heroes of global trade who keep countries supplied with food, fuel and important medical supplies not only during the COVID-19 but every day.
Prior to engaging in blowing the horns ships should ensure that appropriate clearance is sought where required.
