A mental health champion who founded the globally-used Seafarers Happiness Index, four sailors who rescued over 100 people and a Captain mentoring women in maritime are among those to be awarded Merchant Navy Medals. The Merchant Navy Medal recognises the valuable contribution of those working in the Merchant Navy and Fishing industries. More on their work and the other winners: https://lnkd.in/e4vxgW7H
A real honour and means so much. I am very grateful that there is such an award, and it is wonderful to be able to recognise those at sea and former seafarers. I am still a little in shock at having been nominated, let alone being a recipient - but thank you.
They are not 'winners' they are recipients!! It is a state honour not a raffle.
well done all !!
Delighted and proud that my Brother in Law Captain Richard Kirkby and 3 of the crew of Mayan Queen IV have been nominated as recipients of this award for the role they played in rescuing over 100 refugees of the Greek coast.
Congratulations to Capt. Jerry Mooney MNM AFNI AFRIN, Steven Jones FRSA Louise Sara and all deserving recipients of the medal.
Well done to all recipients involved.
