Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the maritime sector. Shipowners decided to lay-up their ships, especially cruise ones, or carry out operational tasks in accordance with pandemic restrictions. Safe working and rest conditions for crews and passengers had to be ensured in order to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus onboard. One of main problems, due to the travel restrictions, was extended contracts of seafarers. As a result, physical overload and mental strains were observed. International support was necessary to support crews in different aspects of their work and life, to organize home returns, or even medical assistance.
