The aim of the study was to assess the risk of a COVID-19 outbreak in a COVID-19-free destination country (New Zealand) related to the departure of merchant ship crews that were infected before or on board the ship.
The article investigated COVID-19 outbreaks on ships anchored in Baía de Todos-os-Santos, Salvador, Brazil between February and November 2021.
The aim of this research is to determine the most common infectious risks/contagious diseases on ships. Estimating the threat from infectious diseases in seafarers depends on the type and trade of vessels. For COVID 19 and other respiratory infections, as well as food poisoning, risks are higher on cruise ships and passenger ships than on cargo ships.
Getting healthy seafarers to a ship: Mitigating the risk with quarantine and testing. An IMHA interim statement.
These Guidelines are intended to provide maritime administrations with an internationally recognized set of criteria for use by competent authorities either directly or as the basis for framing national medical examination standards that will be compatible with international requirements. Their purpose is to help administrations establish criteria that will lead to equitable decisions about who can safely and effectively perform their routine and emergency duties at sea, provided these are compatible with their individual health-related capabilities.
The work includes RCA (Root Cause Analysis), stratification analysis, weighted Ishikawa diagram, and Lorenz-Pareto chart. The substance of the matter comes down to the fact that knowledge of the factors causing coronavirus infections will allow the development and implementation of effective procedures for handling ships in pandemic conditions. The primary sources of information used in the research came from the literature review, the analysis of normative acts, the analysis of documentation and procedures on board ships in pandemic conditions, questionnaire research, direct and focus interviews, and participant observation.
The document describes the models of the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19 epidemics on a passenger ship. A strategy of conduct in order to limit the spread of the epidemic was presented. The used testing methods and protection measures are described.
The article describes an influenza epidemic that occurred on a cruise ship sailing between Sydney and Noumea in 2000. The symptoms and methods of treatment are described, as well as the methods used to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
Document synthesising the literature on mental health and wellbeing of seafarers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It contains the collected results from four electronic databases and the collected recommendations regarding the treatment of seafarers by employers in the conditions of a pandemic.
The document contains the results of an analysis of the effectiveness of 22 different methods of supporting the mental health of seafarers during the pandemic. It describes the impact of, among others: communication with family, behavior of colleagues, atmosphere on board, timely crew changes and many other factors on the mental health and general well-being of the crew during the pandemic.
