Anchoring Wellbeing at Sea
Endorsement & Recognition From Industry Bodies
Our 2-Day Seafarer Mental Health Awareness & Wellbeing Course was based on the standard developed by the Maritime Charities Group and the Merchant Navy Training Board. Our course has been endorsed / recognised by:
The Bahamas Maritime Authority (Recognised)
The Bahamas Maritime Authority was duly established in July 1995. The function of the Authority is to register vessels, enforce ship safety requirements and constantly monitor and improve standards. It also represents The Bahamas at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and other international bodies such as the European Commission and the US Coast Guard.
A Standard for Seafarers' Mental Health Awareness and Wellbeing Training
The Maritime Charities Group, a coalition of 10 major maritime charities, joined forces with the Merchant Navy Training Board to publish a good practice guide to designing a training course for seafarers on mental health and wellbeing awareness.
Written by experts from the maritime and education sectors in response to the growing mental health crisis amongst seafarers, the new Seafarers’ Mental Health Awareness and Wellbeing Training Standard was launched in July 2020, with widespread endorsement from key stakeholder groups.
