Join the Cargo Day Movement

Charterers give “Mercy Cargoes” to participating shipbrokers who then nominate port agents and inspection companies. They donate 50% of their commission made on those Mercy Cargoes to Mercy Ships. 

Charterers are also encouraged to donate either 50% or 100% of their address commission to Mercy Ships.

Cargo Day 2024 is on November 6 and all through the end of the year, where participants will pledge cargoes, make donations, or share their commission.
