Covid-19 Updates

WHO - Corona virus disease (COVID-19) situation reports.

IMO Circulars pertaining to COVID-19

We are currently going through a very difficult phase and organisations (and individuals) are trying to provide support to the affected in every way possible.

FOSMA and MASSA have identified the need to provide 24 x 7 tele support in psychological matters, medical issues and counselling to Indian seafarers on leave and their families.

Accordingly, we have tied up with ‘3 Cube’ to provide these services and have gone ‘live’ as of 1800 hrs on 18th May 2021.

We sincerely wish that our fraternity does not find the need for such support. However, this has been put in place to provide a helping hand and a shoulder to lean on, should it be required. 

Needless to mention, this service is free to the recipients. (Please see the image on the right hand side for Contact details)
