Midterm reflections on Seafarers' mental health during Covid 19

Activity: Attending an eventConference organisation or participation

Description

They have been hailed on LinkedIn and in the media as "key workers." They are the ones who make sure that the supply chains are running smoothly and that goods, medicines, vaccines, oil etc. are delivered worldwide. But in the bigger picture, the seafarers have been forgotten, and in our everyday life on land, they have become the unnamed heroes.

Do we really know how it has been at sea during the corona pandemic? Do we know what challenges the pandemic has created towards the seafarers? And have we made sure that the seafarers have received the support and recognition they deserve?
