Ship Captains & Crew in Mediterranean - Whale Strikes & Abandonment

whale strikes mediterranean Hi all, I hope this message finds you well. I’m a freelance journalist currently writing a piece about whale strikes in the Mediterranean. I’d love to talk to crew or captains to get an insider’s view of the navigation process, and to hear whether you’ve ever encountered (or struck) any large cetaceans at sea. Separately, I’m also working on a piece focusing on the recent surge and impact of seafarer abandonment. If anyone has insight or experience with this and would like to talk, that would be greatly appreciated as well. Feel free to write me over DM. Best, Wouter Massink
