Seafarer welfare

Seafarer welfare involves ensuring the well-being, safety, and fair treatment of people working on ships. It covers aspects like proper accommodation, healthcare, accurate pay, rest periods, and access to communication with loved ones. Good welfare practices support seafarers’ mental and physical health, helping them work effectively and return home safely. International organizations and shipping companies work together to provide these services, recognizing that seafarers are vital to global trade and deserve respectful, safe, and supportive working conditions.
