Summary: 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.
