“…Approximately 44% of their sample were current smokers, and more than 11% drank alcohol every day. Review study (Pougnet et al, 2014) which focused on consumption of addictive substances showed higher prevalence of tobacco and alcohol consumption in seafarers compared to general population. According to this review which was based on international publications, 63.1% of seafarers smoked, while 14.5% were hazardous drinkers (according to the WHO definition).…”

According to the latest assessment of the global supply and demand for seafarers (BIMCO/ISF, 2010), worldwide supply of seafarers is estimated to be 1 371 000, i.e., 624 000 officers and 747 000 ratings or crew members. BIM-CO/ISF (2010) show continued positive trends in both demand and supply of seafarers despite the global economic downturn, but it also reflects significant increases in seafarers from some countries, particularly China, India and the Philippines, as well as in several European countries. The current main suppliers of officers and ratings are OECD countries (29.4% of officers and 19.2% of ratings in global supply) and Far East (19.2% of officers and 36.7% of ratings in global supply). Eastern Europe, with 20.3% of officers and 14.6% of ratings, becomes also labour supplying region of increasing importance. According to BICMO/ISF (2010) the supply of officers worldwide is lower than the demand by 2%. Analysis of international seafarers' market shows that over recent decades there has been a decline in number of seafarers from developed countries, and this decline along with a desire to reduce labour unit costs, created increasing demands for seafarers from developing countries, Occupational stressors, risks and health in the seafaring population ANA SLIŠKOVIĆ and ZVJEZDAN PENEZIĆPrevious studies indicate that the most important stressors in the seafaring population are: long-term separation from home and families; loneliness and social isolation; work-related stressors (high workload and long working hours, low control and work-role conflict), and environmental stressors related to life on board. The seafaring population is also subject to many risks, especially those relating to accidents and injuries, pirate incidents, morbidity from infectious diseases, the limited ability to provide medical aid on board, and an increased risk of cancer. Studies of seafarers' mortality indicate that this population is still characterized by a high risk of fatal accident, diseases that are the results of an unhealthy lifestyle, and also by the high level of suicides in the seafaring population, which could be seen as a reflection of impaired mental health. The physical health of seafarers has been the subject of numerous studies, which have focused mostly on cardiovascular diseases and cancer. On the other hand, the mental health and psychological well-being of seafarers are relatively less well-explored. Finally, the paper gives some guidance for further studies, as well as recommendations for minimizing the negative effects of occupational stressors and risks on seafarers' health.

“…Work stress appears as a possible risk factor exposing to toxic habits. At the seaside, the stress is caused by high psychological demands, low decision latitude and inadequate professional support, and compounded by difficult and dangerous working conditions [28]. According to the National Institute of Prevention and Education for Health (Institut National de Prévention et d'Education pour la Santé, France) [19][20][21][22], 36.2% of regular tobacco smokers, 9.3% of alcohol users and 13.2% of cannabis users said they had increased their consumption due to problems related to their work over the pasted 12 months.…”
