Nor-Shipping Run Benefits Mission to Seafarers
A 5-kilometer fun run to benefit The Mission to Seafarers was held at Norway’s Nor-Shipping conference on June 1.
Representing Maritime Reporter & Engineering News at the charity race was Greg Trauthwein, Associate Publisher and Editor, and Dawn Trauthwein, Advertising Sales Manager.
Starting in Oslo’s city center, the race course took runners along the Oslofjord, finishing at the Norwegian Maritime Museum, the site of a post-race reception.
Celebrating Nor-Shipping’s 50th anniversary and partnership with The Mission to Seafarers, the fun run gave an opportunity to take in some of Oslo’s scenery and network with shipping industry peers, while raising funds to support seafarers and their families.
The Mission to Seafarers provides a range of welfare and emergency support services to the 1.5 million merchant seafarers around the world with a presence at more than 260 ports globally.
