Seafarers First Wellbeing at Sea

At a time when the maritime industry is grappling with retention, mental wellbeing, and the changing realities of life at sea, one message rang clear at the recent International Seafarers' Welfare & Assistance Network (ISWAN) India Seminar: seafarers and their families must come first.

People Matter

Bringing together seafarers, cadets, families, industry leaders, regulators, training institutions, and welfare organisations in Mumbai, the seminar addressed how the industry can better attract, retain, and sustain its workforce.

Held under the theme “Attract, Retain, Sustain: Supporting the Wellbeing of Seafarers and Their Families,” the event reinforced the growing recognition that people-centred policies are no longer optional, they are essential to the future of shipping.

Voices Heard

With Sailor Today serving as Media Partner, the seminar's discussions reached beyond the venue. Live streaming on Sailor Today Maritime Radio and the Sailor Today YouTube channel enabled seafarers at sea, families ashore, and maritime professionals worldwide to engage with the conversation in real time, ensuring that the voices of those most affected were not left unheard.
