Recognizing Bahamian Seafarers on Day of the Seafarer 2025

On this Day of the Seafarer, the BMA proudly recognises two outstanding Bahamians shaping the future of global shipping:

Tre’Von Ferguson, Second Officer aboard Explorer of the Seas

Shantè Pearson, Second Officer aboard Quantum of the Seas

Working with Royal Caribbean, Tre’Von and Shanté embody professionalism, resilience, and the values at the heart of this year’s IMO theme:

“My harassment-free ship” – a call for safe, respectful and inclusive environments at sea for all.

As we recognise their achievements, we also reaffirm our commitment to supporting a global maritime industry where every seafarer feels valued, protected, and empowered to thrive.
