Impact of Covid-19 on crew welfare

The latest Seafarers Happiness Index, published by The Mission to Seafarers, has revealed the ongoing impact of Covid-19 on the welfare of international seafarers and their families. The report shows the continuing decline of happiness at sea, largely due to the inability of seafarers to sign off and return home. Heavy workloads, virus fears and a perceived lack of Covid-19 precautions on board vessels are exacerbating the decline in satisfaction.
