Description: At the time of publishing this guide, the maritime industry has been battling the challenges
presented by the COVID-19 pandemic for most of 2020. Seafarers have been badly affected by the
pandemic with a crisis in crew changes, long delays to repatriations, loss of work, financial
difficulties and increased reporting of related stress and anxiety. Against this backdrop, it is easy to
see the very real need for this guidance which provides detailed support for ship operators in
developing mental health policies for seafarers. There is still a great deal of work left to do to increase
industry-wide knowledge and awareness of mental health, and to reduce widespread stigma.
This guide will be welcomed and implemented by shipping companies.
Mental health is crucial to how well staff are engaged, motivated and able to perform effectively
in their role. Staff with good mental health are likely to be more productive, perform better and
have fewer accidents. It is in the interests of the employer to implement policies and practices
which promote good mental health and mitigate the effects of work-related stressors wherever
possible. This guide sets out to provide useful information for shipping and ship management
companies on how best to devise and implement mental health policies and practices to promote
and protect positive mental health shoreside and on board.
