Global charity The Mission to Seafarers is in Hamburg with an ambitious target to raise EUR 15,000 ($16,748) during SMM.
Local Hamburg shipmanager Brise Shipping has got the ball rolling with a EUR 3,000 donation and Mission staff are urging delegates to follow their lead. Every single euro in the jar counts.
To shake things up a bit and to highlight its 160th anniversary year, the Mission has thrown three jolly "sailors" into the mix who are collecting money dressed in 19th century costume.
