Project HappyBelly: Celebrating Tidewater's seafarers on Day of the Seafarer - 25 June
The Day of the Seafarer is an annual observance on June 25th, established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to recognize the critical role seafarers play in global trade and the maritime industry. It aims to raise awareness of their challenges, celebrate their key contributions, and promote better working conditions and welfare for those working at sea.
In 2024, Tidewater proudly launched Project HappyBelly as part of the ongoing The Ripple Project, to commemorate the Day of the Seafarer and honor our exceptional crew on their special day. This global initiative united our teams, both at sea and ashore, across regions, coming together to celebrate our seafarers with delicious food, fun activities and heartfelt appreciation.
In its second edition, Project HappyBelly 2025 encourages Tidewater's seafarers and shore-based personnel alike to mark this special day by sharing creative tributes, enjoying delicious meals and celebrating the recognizing the invaluable contributions of our crew as one united global team.
