CreWell: Your Wellness & Safety Partner!
In an increasingly competitive maritime industry, wellbeing of
seafarers is a
longstanding concern due to the working conditions of serving in the vessel,
demands on working schedules, harassment and bullying in the industry. These
factors not only affect physical and mental health of seafarers but also the
operational efficiency of the crew, financial performance of the industry and
reputation of business owners.
• Depression and anxiety are the most encountered mood disorders among
Seafarers.
• Anxiety, on the other hand, appears to be more frequent among deck and
galley workers.
• Depression and anxiety also seem more frequent in young (18–35 years) and
female Seafarers.
• Suicidal thoughts appear to be more frequent in workers in container ships.
