Independence Day

FRIENDSHIP FIREWORKS 02

Independence Day. Each Fourth of July Americans around the world celebrate their independence. What does that have to do with Amver? Let's take a closer look.

The Amver system relies on the voluntary spirit of the commercial shipping sector to save lives at sea. It is this sector that gives the world it's independence. Shipping provides-
  • Commerce
  • Employment
  • Recreation
  • Relief
  • Education
While World Maritime Day is a day to recognize mariners lets remember the contribution to independence these men and women give us today. Do you know a mariner? How about thanking them.
