FSUI will work unitedly for the sustainable growth of the shipping fraternity.
Our Story
Prior to that, there was no strong organization to fight for seafarers’ rights. In those days Seamen were subjected to inhuman torture, exploitation, and victimization by the shipowners. It was a pathetic state of affairs, improper pay-scales and bad working conditions were the rules of the day. This crisis created anger and resentment amongst seamen. There was a constant desire in them to change this terrible situation by coming together and protesting unitedly. This laid the foundation that was required and marked the beginning for the formation of FSUI in 1954. Read more…
