Summary:

"Maritime wellbeing is not only essential for the mental and physical health of seafarers but also crucial for the safe and efficient operation of ships. The mental and emotional wellbeing of seafarers can directly impact their job performance, decision-making abilities, and overall safety of the ship. Neglecting the importance of maritime wellbeing can lead to accidents, injuries, and even fatalities at sea. Therefore, it is vital to prioritize the wellbeing of seafarers and provide them with adequate support, resources, and training to ensure a healthy and safe working environment onboard ship. This book aims to raise awareness about the significance of maritime wellbeing and encourage industry-wide initiatives to promote seafarers' mental and physical health. Maritime Wellbeing is one of the most neglected fields in today's world. Seafarers, who are veterans of the maritime industry, have been working on ships that have both homes and workplaces far from their houses and loved ones for years. Staying mentally strong in a ship environment where social life is limited, and work-life balance is not available may only be related to having psychological resilience. This book aims to cover wellbeing subjects related to seafarers' and maritime wellbeing. The objective of this book, together with all its contributing authors, is to increase the psychological well-being of our seafarers, to reduce stress and to lay the groundwork for them to provide mentally and physically healthier ship environments"-- Provided by publisher.
