London P&I Club joins seafarers’ welfare association
The London P&I Club has become a member of the International Seafarers’ Welfare and Assistance Network (Iswan), a network of international organisations committed to improving the welfare of seafarers.
The London Club can now become more active in helping to improve the lives of seafarers through its Iswan membership. Ian Gooch, CEO of the club’s managers (A Bilbrough & Co) said that “Iswan’s help and support for seafarers all over the world is particularly important in these challenging times. Its helpline is an important service that helps seafarers to maintain their mental health and well-being.”
Iswan provides a number of direct welfare services to seafarers and their families, including the free, 24-hour, multilingual helpline called Seafarer Help, which ensures immediate support and is available everywhere in the world at all times of the day. (cd)
