WELCOME HOME, M/V Warrior Seafarers!

After 2.5 long months, 15 crew members of M/V Warrior are finally reunited with their families.

For 76 days, M/V Warrior remained stranded in the Arabian Gulf, caught in the middle of the war outbreak, facing uncertainty & circumstances no seafarer should ever have to experience.

“Warrior” is not just the vessel’s name. It became synonymous with the people onboard.

Throughout this difficult period, they all showed exceptional courage, professionalism & strength. They remained calm & fully committed to their duties onboard under extremely challenging conditions.

You made DryDel Shipping proud!

Behind the scenes, countless efforts were made to safely disembark & repatriate our people.
Continuous communication, free internet access for the crew to stay connected with their loved ones, every effort to secure provisions & supplies under challenging logistical conditions, and non-stop coordination with International Organisations, relevant Authorities, local & international agents, the Philippines Department of Migrant Workers, and our trusted partners at Magsaysay People Resources (Magsaysay Maritime Corporation).

Everyone worked tirelessly towards one goal: bringing our people home safely!
Today marks the end of a long & difficult journey. And above all, a moment of relief.

Deep appreciation for every single person ashore who worked relentlessly to make this possible - our Crew Dept & Crew Manager, Mr. Andreas Kavafis, our Operations, HSQE, Technical teams, our Fleet Director at MAGSAYSAY, Mr. Paul Gutierrez, & everyone involved in this effort.

At DryDel Shipping, our people will always come first!
