It is said that where the sun sets is the horizon.

I tried to look to the horizon but could not see my home.

Seafarers, a special profession, work far away from home for a long time.

Longing for home is always in their hearts.

As time passes by,

the great nostalgia

has slowly changed from a bundle of faded letters at the beginning

to a pile of phone cards from all over the world in seafarers’ drawers

Most seafarers always use up their money in the phone card in one call,

and hanging up the phone due to high charges is a common experience of all seafarers...

But today, all these have changed, because the “Seafarer Phone Card” was introduced on July 11, the Maritime Day of China.

China’s first phone card customized for seafarers

Let’s take a look at the exclusive benefits for seafarers.

The Trade Union of COSCO SHIPPING Seafarer Management Co., Ltd. has worked with China Mobile and introduced the first “Seafarer JegoTrip Exclusive Discount Card (Seafarer Card)” customized for seafarers, which meets their personalized demands in daily lives, including international, navigation and domestic scenarios.

Seafarer JegoTrip Preferential Program – exclusive benefits for seafarers:
