Building Resilience: Seafarers need certainty and systems that keep them safe

Building Resilience: Seafarers need certainty and systems that keep them safe
FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin

Seafarers, like all human beings, need three things: recognition, stimulation and certainty, argues INTERTANKO in its second edition of ’’Crew Welfare Management and Mental Wellness”

The guide provides best practices on wellbeing for crewing managers and shore-side staff. In this post, we explain ways to address seafarers’ need for certainty because when life lacks structure, people can feel lost or fearful; when it is too rigid, people can become rebellious or passive.

4 key actions to address Seafarers’ needs

Ordinarily, life at sea might be viewed as containing too much certainty, with the working environment being overwhelmed with many rules and regulations governing what seafarers can and cannot do. In contrast to their working environment, seafarers’ personal lives, particularly in the current situation, are likely to be associated with too little certainty. The coronavirus has made it very hard to plan and enact crew exchanges, leading to seafarers experiencing a lack of predictability and control over when they will be home, or, when they will be earning.
