The international charity sailors’ society is launching a series of 4 online global wellness and mental health conferences and are about to take place this year at maritime schools in India, Greece, Africa, and the Philippines, designed exclusively for seafarers by professionals in the field, aiming to address the major issues that seafarers are facing today. Technical support to the programme will be provided by the UK P&I club.
Crew welfare, like Wi-Fi onboard, gym facilities, onboard training facilities, and access to bonded stores, whether additional periods of rest are available and access to catering services, will soon become a hot topic during ship inspections.
