Living and working on board of cargo ships no longer has anything to do with the romantic notion of seafaring, as still believed by most consumers. Digitalization and globalization of logistics and supply chains have massively changed the maritime working environment. Seafarers currently find themselves in an extreme situation and suffer disproportionately on an increasing basis, from psychological stress - with severe consequences for the individual and also the diverse crew on board. The psychological stresses on board can be a challenge, leading to reduced work performance and, in the worst case, result in fatalities. Thus, mental health is becoming a relevant business factor as well as risk factor for shipping companies. Personnel policies need to be evaluated and measures must be taken. This book encourages a rethink. Team dynamics and leadership on seagoing vessels must be discussed resolutely. A paradigm shift is required in dealing with such a diverse group of international workers on board. Consistent support for crews, from personnel management can prevent individual tragedies and therefore safeguard important know-how in the maritime industry in the long term. The aim of this book is to illustrate the conditions and organizational structures on board, with the hope of triggering the much needed paradigm shift.
