A buffet spread of vegetable penne pasta, grilled honey-charred chicken, chilli prawn, stir-fried broccoli with oyster sauce, chicken rice, and an assortment of local kuehs, awaited some 50 seafarers at the drop-in centre. Aside from the May Day banquet, each seafarer was gifted with an anti-theft, cut-proof urban bumbag with RFID-protected pocket, where each bag was filled with snacks and lozenges; and Starhub data SIM card, which was a great hit.

Seafarers at the drop-in centre had a great time of rest, recreation and reconnection with SMOU, MTSS and MPA officials as they mingled, touched base, shared stories and played games together. A balloon-popping activity saw many seafarers pitting against each other for the prize of a Nescafe Dolce Gusto espresso machine.
