Over the past months, MPA, together with SMOU, the Mission to Seafarers Singapore (MtSS) and other key partners, hosted several seafarers’ groups for various visiting ships encompasses of different nationalities to festivities and celebrations at the MtSS drop-in Centre in Jurong Port. These included Christmas celebrations on 23 December 2024, Lunar New Year celebrations on 13 February 2025, and Hari Raya celebrations on 14 April 2025.

During each of these sessions, seafarers from various visiting ships which called at Jurong Port were treated to a spread of seasonal delights and festive cheer – through interactive games, lucky draws, distribution of goodie bags and birthday celebrations. In addition, the Hari Raya event also featured an informative session by Bigyellowfish which discussed seafarers’ wellbeing and mental wellness.

These activities were organised to promote a sense of community for visiting seafarers in Singapore, and also recognise their unwavering dedication, professionalism and sacrifices to keep maritime trade and supply chains flowing.
