Seafarer Wellbeing
Seafarer wellbeing has been a focal topic for our loss prevention team in recent years, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. We continue to raise awareness of the topic, focusing on what more we can do to support our seafarers and foster a safer shipping industry.
While there are many support resources available, seafarers’ health is ultimately in their own hands. We should encourage them to remain steadfast and committed to maintaining positive health and wellbeing, and remind them that professional help is always on hand.
