Year: 2019 Language: English Author: Intertanko Genre: Instruction Publisher: Intertanko Edition: 1st edition Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 8 Description: Seafarers, like most non-seafarers in today’s world, are used to an almost constant connection to the internet and each other via social media and communication applications (i.e. apps). Pre-existing alternative means of communication with the outside world that were available to crew seem inconvenient, archaic, unreliable, limiting and too costly for most modern seafarers. As such, life at sea without internet connectivity can affect a seafarer’s perceived quality of life and increase feelings of isolation, loneliness and disconnection with the world outside. Shipowners and operators are realizing that having access to the internet on board a ship can help with attracting new talent, retaining existing crew and for training in compliance with regulatory requirements as well as other applications. Shipowners and operators are also fast learning that “connectivity” is now not only enabling crew communications and welfare but enabling a wider digital operation that enhances their competitiveness. Additional info: This guidance, Cyber Wellness at Sea, is designed to provide practical considerations for shipowners initiating a shipboard internet system. It is entirely up to the crew and onboard management to ensure that by providing access to the internet, it is used in a positive way, i.e. for the wellbeing of seafarers.
