Suyanto","doi":"10.3390/msf2022013029","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/msf2022013029","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Being highly contagious through person-to-person transmission, COVID-19 can easily spread within multinational populations of ships and to land communities. The purpose of this study is to report on the prevalence of COVID-19 infections in the Commerce fleet over a two year period and to discuss measures to prevent and overcome the outbreak of COVID-19 on ships. Materials and methods: All possible cases of COVID-19 among crew on six merchant vessels were registered during 2021 by onboard medical facilities. The patients remained isolated for up to 6 days after taking a PCR test. Vulnerable contacts were identified and offered post-exposure measures. The nationality of the crew, the number of contacts vaccinated, and the cost of direct treatment were noted. Results: Across the year of 2021, there were six ships with registered COVID-19 cases (132 crew), and one out of the six ships had COVID-19 cases appearing less frequently than 1 per day, consisting of a total of 12 patients. This ship sails under the flag of the Indonesian state. Of the other five ships, among the crew, 111 caught COVID-19 (85.1% of crew cases were from Indonesia, and 21 (15.9%) of were from subtropical/tropical countries, namely India). Conclusions: All ships have to deal with cases of COVID-19 or outbreaks on board every few years. Any case of COVID-19 could start an outbreak, and thus trigger time-consuming and expensive containment measures, including isolation and mass vaccination of susceptible contacts. Mandatory pre-contract proof of COVID-19 immunity from all seafarers or from subgroups, noting their position or nationality may be worth considering. In order for sailors to be immune to COVID-19, they must be able to get COVID-19 vaccinations and valid documentation when sailing.","PeriodicalId":152179,"journal":{"name":"Public Health Congress on Maritime Transport and Ports 2022: Sailing to the Post-COVID-19 Era","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133542672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Seafarers’ Health and Wellbeing during COVID-19: Lessons Learned","authors":"Margarita Kanaki, Despoina Andrioti Bygvraa, G. Charalambous","doi":"10.3390/msf2022013028","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/msf2022013028","url":null,"abstract":"The maritime industry has long been a significant mode of transportation. It is essential since it contributes to 80% of the global trade. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the maritime sector and its workforce. Many countries implemented strict prevention measures like the No Sail Order, the closing of ports and movement restrictions. The study explored the potential effects of the COVID-19 restrictions on the health and well-being of seafarers with an aim to offer insight for policy recommendations. The study was cross-sectional. It took place during the period January-April 2021. The questionnaire developed by Stella Maris was used with permission. It was distributed to shipping companies and work unions and, through them, to seafarers. The sample was 106 individuals. The study features the findings of the questionnaire which were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. SPSS was used for the analysis. Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were performed. Logistic regression was used to assess the impact of COVID-19 on physical, mental and financial aspects of seafarers' lives. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed using the forward (conditional) stepwise regression method with probability for stepwise entry set at 10%. Statistical significance was considered at p < 0.05. Seafarers were affected physically (38%), mentally (53%), and financially (40%) by the pandemic. The country of origin, the time onboard and the number of supportive family members had an influence on those effects. Among the participants, those who worked on tankers and officers with more than three family members were more likely to face mental, physical or financial problems. In addition, the study showed that only 24.5% of the respondents were on regular contracts, 16% had their contracts extended, 14.2% were about to be deployed but were grounded due to the pandemic, while about half of the sample 41.5% was waiting for a new contract. The results of this study may be used as a starting point by International Organisations including IMO and ILO, flag states, ports and the industry to increase emergency preparedness and to inform outbreak response plans in the event of future infectious disease outbreaks in the shipping domain.","PeriodicalId":152179,"journal":{"name":"Public Health Congress on Maritime Transport and Ports 2022: Sailing to the Post-COVID-19 Era","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127109359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Company, Italy) moored in the port of Genova (Northwest of Italy) was transformed into a medical care facility for COVID-19. The project intended to help infected patients that required low-intensity care, were discharged from hospitals in the Liguria Region and were not yet able to return home. The aim was to share some of the treatment burden of the completely overcrowded local ashore hospitals and to free up bed spaces for patients in the acute phase of the disease. In this work we highlighted under the health port authority perspective the safety issues that the crew faced resulting from the exceptional and very unusual allocation of ashore medical facilities on a passenger ship.","PeriodicalId":152179,"journal":{"name":"Public Health Congress on Maritime Transport and Ports 2022: Sailing to the Post-COVID-19 Era","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132622946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The challenges were a result of a global crew change crisis and issues with repatriation as a result of travel lockdowns, pay insecurity, mental health challenges, lack of digital access, and flaws within the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) that resulted in serious questions of liability and rights and responsibilities for seafarers. The Center for Ocean Policy & Economics (COPE), hosted by the Northeast Maritime Institute's College of Maritime Science, observed and participated in several initiatives to promote human rights at sea to improve the livelihood of seafarers. The initiatives underscore pathways and methods of improvement for maritime and ocean related issues.","PeriodicalId":152179,"journal":{"name":"Public Health Congress on Maritime Transport and Ports 2022: Sailing to the Post-COVID-19 Era","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123686358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
