Anyone who has attended a Shiparrested.com network conference will have surely noticed the friendly, almost familial atmosphere of the event and interactions amongst members. Many of our members have developed personal relationships that reach beyond business and go back over 20 years of the network’s existence.

For these reasons and more, it deeply pains us to see many of our fellow members suffering the effects, directly and indirectly, of the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Although our words will come up short, we wish to send a message of solidarity, hope, and encouragement to all of those affected. We express our strong hope for hostilities to cease and for negotiations to bring a speedy end to the war. 

Most importantly, we pray for the safety and wellbeing of you and your families, and for peace.
