In recent years, the maritime industry has shifted its attention towards enhancing wellness, recognizing it as a multifaceted and holistic process. The sector acknowledges that fostering welfare & well-being among individuals can only bring benefits to people onboard, enhancing their productivity and motivation.
Many factors can improve the quality of life onboard and ensure a happier crew. With that in mind, we are pleased to announce the SEAFiT Crew Survey (including Wellness & Welfare elements) as an industry initiative to identify trends, provide feedback to all industry stakeholders, and provide a roadmap for embracing a new well-being mindset on an organizational and industry level.
The survey is scheduled to run within Q2 & Q3 of 2024, with preliminary results being released on an ongoing basis and final reports later in the year. This will be our 4th survey on crew welfare as we have had similar initiatives conducted during 2019, 2021, and 2023.
2024 SEAFiT Crew Survey
With the 2024 survey, we aim to assess life and work onboard with the SEAFiT Index, a crew welfare index that provides a picture of how welfare issues are perceived and implemented onboard. Furthermore, the survey aims to address key aspects of physical, mental, and social well-being and assist maritime stakeholders in setting priorities around these topics.
The survey is anonymous and is conducted via an online questionnaire requiring less than ten minutes to complete by seafarers sailing with the ships and those currently ashore.
Three (3) key reasons WHY you should participate in this industry-wide survey:
This is by far the largest survey of its kind with a participation target of over 5K ships / 100K seafarers
SAFETY4SEA will be building on the findings of 2019, 2021, and 2023 Crew Surveys (including Wellness, Welfare & well-being elements), so findings will be enough, detailed, and accurate
