Enhancing Seafarers' Well-Being

Sailors’ society offers at-home, in-port, and at-sea assistance to seafarers and their families. Tell us more about sailors’ society’s award-winning “wellness at sea” programme, and some of the ways it has helped maritime companies and their crew.

Our innovative “Wellness at Sea” coaching programme, e-learning platform, and free app help seafarers stay physically and mentally fit for the daily pressures they face. The programme also helps maritime companies achieve the best performance from their crew by maintaining high levels of welfare. We provide training both in-class and online, working in partnership with companies and colleges. In class, seafarers can choose from five languages to learn — Hindi, Russian, Mandarin, Tagalog and English — and online, it is conducted in English. Since its launch in 2015, more than 8,000 seafarers have completed the training.

“Wellness at Sea” won two prestigious industry awards in 2018: “Best Crew Welfare Programme” at Seatrade Awards, and our e-learning programme was recognised at the Safety at Sea awards. The biggest reward, though, is seeing the difference it makes in preparing seafarers for a fulfilling career at sea.
