A Christian mission agency has called for the welfare of nearly two million seafarers to be taken into consideration, as the global shipping fleet cuts costs by adopting new technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mission to Seafarers<\/a> (MtS) runs 121 centers in ports around the world, and its people visit more than 40,000 ships each year. Seafarers face dangerous oceans and seas to transport more than 90% of the world\u2019s goods and fuel \u2013 making them essential key workers who often go unrecognized by the general population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MtS Secretary General Peter Rouch has expressed concern that often ships\u2019 crews are overlooked when investment is being made in new technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOverworked crew members are more likely to make costly mistakes, which can harm the shipping industry, of course, but the more important aspect is to understand seafarers as much more than a simple resource. Those who enable global trade to function are human beings who will invariably flourish in a web of warm and healthy human relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read the full story<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another story from Christian Today highlights a ministry you might be more aware of, reporting that Alpha International had its most successful year ever, reaching millions across the globe<\/a>.
