The Cargo Day online fundraising event raised money for Mercy Ships, 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. Since 1990, Mercy Ships has conducted 43 field services* in 14 African countries with the 16,572-ton Africa Mercy (with five operating rooms and 80 patient beds) and with the 37,000-ton Global Mercy (with 6 operating rooms and 199 patient beds).

This generous gifting contributes 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.

*For a typical field service, the ships stay in the same port for about 10 months.

Passing on the Healing: Hawa’s Story of Life-Saving Surgery

Hawa boarded the first Mercy Ship, the Anastasis, as a small child, when a tumor was slowly encroaching on her ability to eat and breathe. It was there that her life was saved, and a new dream was born. This year, Mercy Ships returns to Sierra Leone bringing life saving Hope to more people like Hawa.

Igniting Hope - Voices From Sierra Leone

For 12 years, Ibrahim Bangura has served his neighboring countries as a volunteer with Mercy Ships. Now, he’ll finally get the opportunity to help people in his own nation of SierraLeone. “I’m looking forward to seeing the first patient climbing the gangway, coming to receive surgery on board,” he said. “That will completely bring so much peace in me and joy.”

Amadou, First Ever Patient Surgery on the Global Mercy.

The world’s largest purpose-built civilian hospital ship, the Global Mercy®, is projected to serve 150,000 patients over the next five decades – and it all begins with Amadou, a 4-year-old with a windswept leg and bowed leg from southern Senegal. With an orthopedic surgery on March 6, Amadou was the first patient to ever receive surgery on board the new ship.
