Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (“Seanergy” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: SHIP) announced today that it has joined the “Neptune
Declaration on Seafarer Wellbeing and Crew Change” (the “Neptune
Declaration”), a global coalition between over 300 companies and

welfare with actions that will, amongst others, facilitate crew
changes during the pandemic and the ongoing lockdowns.
The Neptune Declaration’s four major aims
are:
- Recognize seafarers as key workers and give them priority
access to COVID-19 vaccinations
- Implement high-standard health protocols
- Increase collaboration between ship operators and charterers to
facilitate crew changes
- Ensure airline connectivity between key maritime hubs for
seafarers
Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company’s
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“It is our honor and duty to actively
participate in this significant coalition of global leading
shipowners, charterers and banks aiming to alleviate and resolve
this unprecedented humanitarian crew crisis.
“Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have
prioritized the safety and well-being of our crew and we have acted
upon this matter. Recognizing the importance of the seafarers’
community in the global seaborne trade, as well as in the ongoing
success of our Company, this continues to be amongst our top
priorities.
“We hereby reiterate our strong commitment to
this cause.”
