What is the Seafarers Happiness Index?

The Seafarers Happiness Index was founded in 2015 and is designed to monitor and benchmark seafarer satisfaction levels by asking a series of questions. It serves as an important barometer of seafarer satisfaction with life at sea. Questions focus on a range of issues, from mental health and wellbeing, to working life and family contact.

Together we can make sure that seafarers voices are heard, and that the shipping industry can make positive changes.
