The Seafarers Happiness Index was founded in 2015 and is designed to monitor and benchmark seafarer satisfaction levels by asking 10 key questions and serves as an important barometer of seafarer satisfaction with life at sea. Questions focus on a range of issues, from mental health and wellbeing, to working life and family contact.
The survey is distributed to global seafarers to provide indicators of key issues around the happiness of seafarers, both on shore and aboard. The results are then shared with industry and key decision makers. Together we can make sure that seafarers voices are heard, and that the shipping industry can make positive changes. Let's make life at sea better.

The survey is short, and only takes a few minutes to complete. It is your way of getting a message to the world, of sharing how you feel - and calling for change or applauding the things which are good about seafaring today.
