Follow @TeekayCorp on Instagram for a sneak peak of our seafarers’ lives at sea!
To mark the celebration of this year’s Seafarer Day, we will be handing over our Instagram account @TeekayCorp to our seafarers. From June 22 to June 26, three seafarers will document their busy days and provide a sneak peak of their life and career at sea. This year’s campaign, held annually by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), has a focus on maritime education and showing “how the multi-faceted maritime world offers a series of rich and fulfilling career opportunities for young people, both at sea and ashore.” At Teekay, we take pride in the 5,900 talented seafarers we have sailing across the world. Since 2013, we have taken part in the Seafarer Day campaign to show our appreciation for their hard work and commitment to bringing energy to the world with Teekay SPIRIT. To support this year’s campaign, we asked our seafarers to show us what it is like to work at sea. Tune in from June 22 to June 26 as Trond Arne, Robert Puttman and Ainoa Juan take over our Instagram feed. But first, let us introduce them:
