Day of the Seafarer 2025 – Together at the Same Table

We marked the Day of the Seafarer with a gathering that reflected the spirit of unity and appreciation within our industry. Our Chairman, Abdülvahit Şimşek, joined the event and shared in the conversations, making his presence a meaningful reminder of the values that guide our company togetherness, respect, and collaboration.

The celebration took the form of a Döner Sandwich Day, but it was much more than a lunch break. It was a moment where colleagues came together—not around desks or screens, but at the same table. Laughter echoed in the room, new stories were shared, and familiar faces felt even more connected.

We were honored to welcome Carsten Sommerhage, Managing Director at Nordic Hamburg, along with their team. Their participation added a sense of international camaraderie and strengthened the bond we share with our partners.

For us at AVS, the Day of the Seafarer is more than a date on the calendar it’s a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate the people who keep the maritime world turning. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day sincere, spirited, and shared.
