60% of seafarers worry about the health and wellbeing of their families

Seafarers face unique challenges, often spending long periods away from their loved ones, which can create added stress and worry. At Marine Benefits, we understand these unique challenges and the vital role family plays in seafarers wellbeing. By offering comprehensive, year-round health coverage for their families, we provide the peace of mind that seafarers need. Knowing their loved ones have access to quality healthcare allows them to focus on their work at sea.

In addition to considering general socio-economic, cultural, and environmental factors, it is essential to
examine the impact of living and work environments, unemployment, and job security on health and wellbeing.
Social aspects, including family, friends, and community networks, also play a crucial role in determining
health outcomes. By including questions in relation to our respondents’ workplace, social environment
onboard, and their most common worries, we are able to get an idea of how engaged, satisfied, and loyal
seafarers are in relation to their workplace, which are also indicators of overall wellbeing.
