But for nearly a quarter of the ships, our visit stops short at the gangway,\u201d explains Struwe. Concerns over the spread of infection are high for shipping companies and captains, which is also why they often impose shore leave bans on their crew \u2013 meaning the \u2018colourful encounters\u2019, as he puts them, no longer take place at the club. \u201cDue to our limited space, since June 2021 we have only hosted individual crews at our club upon request, rather than several crews at once,\u201d explains Struwe. <\/p>\n<p>The approach to ship visits has also changed continuously during the pandemic, which is why Struwe refers to various phases: \u201cIn the first few months of the pandemic, our small gestures of encouragement mainly involved passing over gifts at the gangway \u2013 mostly sweets, chocolate or vitamins. Then, since sufficient tests and masks were made available, we have progressively opted to go on board. This decision was due to increasing feedback from captains and crews: \u2018Why are you leaving us alone in this difficult time instead of coming in for a coffee?\u2019 That was our strategy for a long time. But with the growing infection numbers, we have now adjusted this to going on board, but keeping our masks on and not eating or drinking anything.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the German seamen\u2019s missions launched the online pastoral service, DSM Care, from May 2020. Here, seafarers can discuss their concerns with trained contact persons and pastoral workers via chat or on the phone. \u201cThis service is well received, since there is considerable need to talk in these difficult times,\u201d reports Struwe. Meanwhile, DSM Care has demonstrated that the pandemic has been a catalyst for real progress in digitalisation, which would otherwise probably have come at a later date.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; module_class=&#8221;dtb-sticky&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_sidebar area=&#8221;et_pb_widget_area_7&#8243; show_border=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Werbung Startseite \/ Artikel&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][\/et_pb_sidebar][et_pb_sidebar area=&#8221;et_pb_widget_area_9&#8243; show_border=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Werbung Artikel&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221; column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MartinStruwe_500px.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;MartinStruwe_500px&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;25px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#002e5b&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;||40px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;85px||||false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cThe approach to ship visits has also changed continuously during the pandemic.\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Martin Struwe, deacon, Seamen\u2019s Mission in Cuxhaven<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cWe are not politicians\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Hannfried Teerling, speaker for the on-board visitors and club counsellors at the German Seamen\u2019s Mission in Wilhelmshaven, has had similar experiences. He emphasises: \u201cWe always act in line with current events and the situation at hand. This also means that we only host crews at our premises between the times of 5\u00a0p.m. and 10\u00a0p.m. on request.\u201d Due to the war in Ukraine, he believes that some shipping companies are now avoiding working with a mixed-nationality crew from Russia and Ukraine wherever possible. But when sailors from the two nations join each other on board, it seems to work surprisingly well, reports Teerling: \u201cThe sentiment of those affected is that they are a crew, not politicians. They work together and must be able to rely on each other.\u201d As far as support for those seafarers is concerned, Teerling believes that it is particularly important to provide them with an attentive ear. In addition, crews from Ukraine were also provided with free SIM cards for their mobile phones, so that they can keep updated about the situation in their home country and, if possible, exchange information with their relatives in Ukraine.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; module_class=&#8221;dtb-sticky&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ukraine_500px.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Ukraine_500px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221; column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/HannfriedTeerling_500px.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;HannfriedTeerling_500px&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;25px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#002e5b&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;||40px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;85px||||false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cWe always act in line with current events and the situation at hand.\u201c<\/h3>\n<p>Hannfried Teerling, spokesman for the on-board visitors and club counsellors, German Seamen\u2019s Mission in Wilhelmshaven[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>Intense internal conflicts<\/h2>\n<p>Christine Freytag, deacon of the Seamen\u2019s Mission in Bremerhaven, has received predominantly positive feedback from her discussions with Ukrainians so far, as have her colleagues at other sites. \u201cPeople are grateful for any form of compassion.

Since the people she speaks with are all military-age males, her most prominent insight was the intense internal conflict for these seafarers. \u201cSailors face the difficult choice of whether to return to Ukraine to fight for their country, or whether to seek an extension contract to earn money for the livelihood of their families,\u201d Freyday recounts from her experience. With regard to the pandemic, she reports that there are restrictions on the number of visitors at Bremerhaven Seaman\u2019s club, but no mandatory separation of crews: \u201cOur premises are very spacious, so there are no issues when wearing masks. There are also vaccinations for seafarers at the club on weekdays. Many people who otherwise have no access to facilities ashore can get their vaccination whilst picking up some small supplies from our shop,\u201d said the deacon.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; module_class=&#8221;dtb-sticky&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;Logistics Pilot&#8221; url=&#8221;mailto:marketing@bremenports.de?subject=Please%20send%20me%20the%20Logistics%20Pilot%20Magazine&#8221; image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/LP_2022-April-EN-Cover.jpg&#8221; icon_placement=&#8221;left&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.15.1&#8243; header_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#002e5b&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; body_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; body_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; animation=&#8221;right&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;mailto:marketing@bremenports.de?subject=Please%20send%20me%20the%20Logistics%20Pilot%20Magazine&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_css_blurb_image=&#8221;width:100px;||transform: rotate(-10deg);&#8221; custom_css_blurb_title=&#8221;padding-top:15px;||margin-bottom:-5px;&#8221; box_shadow_style_image=&#8221;preset1&#8243; box_shadow_color_image=&#8221;rgba(0,46,91,0.3)&#8221; global_module=&#8221;50941&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Die aktuelle Printausgabe &#8211; jetzt kostenlos anfordern.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221; column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||25px||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Christine-Freytag_500px.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Christine-Freytag_500px&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;25px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#002e5b&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;||40px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;85px||||false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cPeople are grateful for any form of compassion.\u201c<\/h3>\n<p>Christine Freytag, deacon, Seamen\u2019s Mission Bremerhaven[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>Terrifying prospects<\/h2>\n<p>Magnus Deppe, Head of the Seamen\u2019s Mission in Bremen, has recently been struggling with conflicting emotions. On the one hand, he is pleased his seafarers\u2019 club has finally reopened after two years of closure and extensive reconstruction work, and on the other, the shock of the war in Ukraine is palpable every day. \u201cI would like to see things looking up again soon and more sailors from a wide range of nations coming to our newly extended club. But that remains a goal for the future,\u201d says Deppe. In close cooperation with the International Transport Workers\u2019 Federation (ITF), many Ukrainians have also been supported in their search for jobs and accommodation throughout Germany in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Deppe and his volunteers often met Ukrainian and Russian seafarers on the ships who, after many months together at sea, were anticipating a crew change and thus an uncertain future. \u201cSome of them were afraid that they may encounter their current colleagues at war and maybe even have to shoot at them, even though they had previously worked side by side with them on board. A horrifying thought that hopefully never becomes a reality,\u201d Deppe echoes the sentiments of many. <em>(bre)<\/em>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; module_class=&#8221;dtb-sticky&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221; column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Magnus-Deppe_500px.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Magnus-Deppe_500px&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;25px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#002e5b&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;||40px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;85px||||false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cI would like to see things looking up again soon and more sailors coming to our club.\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Magnus Deppe, Head of Seamen\u2019s Mission Bremen[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;et_body_layout&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#DFE6EE&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||30px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; bottom_divider_style=&#8221;waves2&#8243; bottom_divider_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; bottom_divider_height=&#8221;59px&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; column_structure=&#8221;2_3,1_3&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||20px||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]The German Seamen\u2019s Mission (DSM) is a Christian pastoral and social institution.
