Welfare Watch May 2026

The 13th edition of Welfare Watch is now available. This edition highlights how MNWB and its members continue to strengthen seafarers welfare across the UK.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency has recently highlighted Seafarer Support in Marine Information Note 734 and shared it through app notifications, reinforcing the helpline as a route to help for UK serving and retired seafarers and their families.
This edition also reflects on Southampton’s Titanic anniversary service and shares where to find National Fishing Remembrance Day services taking place around the UK on 10 May.
You can also read updates from the Merchant Navy Pledge roundtable, a reminder that Merchant Navy Medal nominations close on 31 May, plus key links on ICO direct marketing guidance, Gordon Foot’s Arctic challenge for QVSR and MNWB’s plans for Seawork 2026, in the full Welfare Watch newsletter.
