The Loadstar would like to celebrate a sales milestone reached by our global sales director Jaye this year - so we have decided to push her out of a plane on Friday 13th July! Jaye would like her tandem skydive to be marked by a charitable donation to The Mission for Seafarers, which provides help and support to the 1.5m-strong global maritime crew.

Over 90% of world trade is carried by sea, providing work to 1.5 million seafarers. However, it is also one of the world's most dangerous occupations, in 2017, there were 2,611 casualties. The rate of suicide for international seafarers is triple that of shore workers, and they are 26 times more likely to be killed at work.
