On VE Day, we remember the 30,000+ British Merchant Navy seafarers—and thousands more from allied nations—who died at sea. Their sacrifice was immense, their role vital. Far from home, they gave their lives for peace in Europe. We owe them a debt we can never repay.

Seafarers work long hours in challenging roles and are more likely to suffer from fatigue - a danger to crew and passengers. In this report, seafarers on ferries confirm the challenging reality of life as a ferry crew member. www.gov.uk/government/p...
