The International Port Welfare Partnership (iPWP) is an International Seafarers' Welfare Assistance Network (ISWAN) project that will soon become a programme funded by the International Transport Workers' Federation Seafarers' Trust (ITFST), Merchant Navy Welfare Board (MNWB), TK Foundation and Seafarers UK.  It aims to encourage and support the establishment of welfare boards worldwide, in accordance with ILO MLC, 2006.  Welfare Boards provide the forum for maritime organisations to regularly meet and support seafarers' port welfare services/facilities in order to improve seafarers' lives.  If you are interested in becoming involved in or supporting the project please visit the 'Contact Us' webpage - we look forward to hearing from you!
