78 SHIPPING AND TRADING COMPANIES BROKE ALL-TIME RECORD FOR CHARITY WITH 2 MILLION!

Shipping and trading community digs deep to bring hope and healing to people in sub-Saharan Africa.

The Cargo Day online fundraising event raised so far more than 7 million in 7 years by the shipping and trading community! 

This generous gifting contributed in providing free surgical and medical care to some of the most vulnerable people in sub-Saharan Africa.

Charterers, shipbrokers, owners and more donate part of their commissions and give pledge amounts to have a bigger impact in Africa.

Nearly $2,000,000 was raised for the charity Mercy Ships with 57 Mercy Cargoes,16 address commissions and 41 pledges donated in 2022. This is a record amount raised since Mercy Ships Cargo Day started in 2016. These increased results are due to the generosity of: 30 charterers, 19 shipbrokers, 25 shipowners, 3 port agents, 3 consulting and other shipping companies.

Mercy ships is a NGO that uses hospital ships to provide essential medical support, changing the lives of those who would not otherwise be able to afford it. During the past 30 years, Mercy Ships has conducted 41 field services in 14 African countries with the 16,572-ton Africa Mercy (with five operating rooms and 80 patient beds). This mission is now complemented by the 37,000-ton Global Mercy (with 6 operating rooms and 199 patient beds).
