The gesture is to officially mark International Worker's Day
The initiative aims to salute the 1.6 million seafarers globally who continue their efforts to supply food, fuel, goods and vital medical supplies during the Covid-19 crisis.
Equally, the Port wishes to acknowledge the role of all workers in our community who are going above and beyond in the delivery of services on land, as well as at sea.
All vessels currently in Cork Harbour have been asked to participate, and an invitation has been extended to other ports around Ireland to join in.
Speaking to RedFM News Port of Cork Harbour Master, Captain Paul O'Regan, says shipping has been vital to the stability in the supply chain during the recent pandemic
