The IMO’s World Maritime University (WMU) is calling seafarers who are currently working on commercial ships, or have worked on such ships at any time after 1 February 1997, to take part in a survey on hours of /rest, workload, and ship manning.
WMU is conducting the survey in collaboration with the International Federation of Shipmasters’ Associations (IFSMA), the Nautical Institute (NI), the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST), and the International Seafarers’ Welfare and Assistance Network (ISWAN).
The survey is part of research funded by the ITF Seafarers’ Trust. At the conclusion of the survey, WMU will work with the maritime community to consider improvements.
The survey should take no more than 20 minutes to complete and all responses will remain strictly confidential. The participation deadline is 31 December 2022.
