Cargo Day is here. Wednesday 4 November is the focal point of a push over the next few weeks to raise funds for the Mercy Ships charity which takes hospital ships to Africa to provide surgical care that thousands would otherwise never receive.
Last year a record $1.3m was raised, and efforts are afoot to try and match that result, despite the difficulties caused by coronavirus and now poor shipping markets, as the charity takes delivery of its first ever purpose-built vessel, the 37,000-gt newbuilding Global Mercy.
