Wellbeing at Sea

Seafaring is a very demanding profession. Being far away from family and friends, unable to leave the workplace, and having fewer choices during non-working hours can affect a seafarer's physical, mental and emotional health. For seafarers, whilst on board, the ship is not only their place of work but also their home. This practical guide will offer guidance for seafarers on fitness and diet, general health, personal and social wellbeing, mental health issues, and relationships and communication. With an extensive appendix, it also provides useful advice to help seafarers cope with everyday life. Easy to read and full of illustrations, this pocket book will be an essential resource for seafarers who wish to enjoy a state of healthy wellbeing at sea.
