SEAFiT Crew Survey Report 2023

Crew Survey Report | 2023 8 seafit.safety4sea.com Objective SEAFiT Crew Welfare Survey aimed to assess status, provide feedback to all industry stakeholders and identify a roadmap to improve on an organiza- tional and industry level. Introduction After the COVID pandemic period, the world is get- ting back to normal operations, although war conflicts in Ukraine have affected the daily operations in many industries. Shipping industry following the worldwide “common” operation flow, has re-established the routes of transportation for goods. Seafarers are the unsung heroes of our industry who are responsible for keeping the world supplied with raw materials, fuel, food and goods, including vital medical supplies. The COVID-19 pandemic had significantly affected the in- dustry but all stakeholders joined their efforts to over- come this dangerous “reef”. In this context, during 2023 Q2 & Q3, SAFETY- 4SEA ran a global crew welfare survey, asking peo- ple onboard and ashore to provide feedback on how they feel about work and life at sea. Participants were asked to answer questions that cover key as- pects of crew welfare. The survey questionnaire was answered by a total of 18,352 Seafarers, serving on board 1,574 Ships.
