The maritime industry is an essential part of global trade, with shipping being responsible for around 90% of world trade. However, the industry also faces significant challenges, particularly in terms of sustainability, both environmental and human. The human element is often overlooked, and crew members and offshore managers face various challenges that impact their health, safety, and well-being. This panel will explore the issue of human sustainability in crews and offshore managers in the maritime industry, including the challenges, opportunities, and best practices for ensuring the well-being of workers.
