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 is in November every year and runs through the end of the year, where participants will pledge cargoes, make donations, or share their commission.
Types of participants
Charterers
Give cargoes to participants (shipbrokers) or nominate participants (port agents and inspection companies) on a given day. These cargoes are called “Mercy Cargoes”
