Since the well-being of the seafarers is the number one priority for shipping companies, shipping agents, and ship owners, we at SHIP M.D. take the wellness of the seafarer seriously and give a comprehensive and holistic approach in order to cover all aspects of those needs.

Seafarers have a difficult, hard, and solitary life which ends up being a burden which weighs heavily on the physical and mental capacities of the seafarers. They are deprived of most many aspects of life, that others who live and work on land consider as perfectly natural and, invariably, take for granted.

Seafarers are away from their family and loved ones for extended periods of time. They experience stress, imposed by ever rising demands of increased productivity and efficiency, ever more stringent regulation, and ever more complicated technology, that they are required to master at an ever-accelerated pace.

Furthermore, the global pandemic has added extra restrictions to come ashore at many ports of calls. Not to mention their usual and omnipresent perils of the sea, the risk of accident due to human negligence and hazardous cargoes, constitutes today’s seamen life.
