Charity ball gives back to seafarers

A total of £1.200 was raised from the event, which was organised by the Milford Haven Port Welfare Committee and held to mark the end of ‘Seafarers Awareness Week’ in June.

Port Welfare Committee member Captain Glyn R Garland said Milford Haven is a major energy hub and has about 60,000 visiting seafarers a year. “Many spend up to 10 months away from home and the seafaring charities help to support these seafarers worldwide,” he said.

The Ball was the first to be held and the event was sponsored by the Merchant Navy Welfare Board (MNWB), Milford Haven Port Authority, Svitzer, Eddistone Ltd, Dragon LNG, South Hook LNG, SemLogistics, Graypen ship agency and Tussie Mussie flowers.
