“…Most of the respondents were male (97.7 percent), and women seafarer participants constituted only two percent of the respondents. This is consistent with the worldwide proportion of active women seafarers, which is about 1.28 percent of the 1.89 million seafarers, despite the international concerted campaign promoting women empowerment and participation in maritime industry (Narayanan et al, 2023). More than half of the respondents were below 30 years old (57.1 percent), where a large proportion were either cadets or on-the-job-trainees (39.9 percent).…”

This paper examines the mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions provided to Filipino international merchant seafarers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the significant labor participation in seafaring of Filipinos, examining the MHPSS provided to them during a crisis is necessary because these services remain unexplored. Using an online survey, this paper raises two questions: (1) what MHPSS was provided to Filipino seafarers during the pandemic and (2) how did the seafarers perceive the importance of MHPSS interventions? Twenty-two MHPSS interventions are presented and analyzed, and policy recommendations for various Philippine-based stakeholders are offered.

“…In the literature, much research has described the maritime sector as a male-dominated and demanding sector (Narayanan et al, 2023;Fidan et al, 2020;Halimah et al, 2019;Bhirugnath-Bhookhun, & Kitada, 2017). This research also reveals a similar result.…”

This study has been designed to address the issue of gender inequality and discrimination experienced by women working in male-dominated sectors. The aim of the study is to determine the presence of gender diversity at the management level in male-dominated industries. Therefore, the perception regarding the participation of women in port management at the management level has been examined in port workplaces where men are predominantly employed. Three major ports located in the southern region of the Marmara area have been taken as samples, and a survey has been directed to white-collar employees working in these ports to reveal their perspective on female employees in the port sector. The research findings indicate that the majority of participants in the study have opposed the widely accepted notion that the sector is not suitable for women. The research findings are considered a positive and inspiring outcome that challenges dominant perceptions towards women in leadership positions at the management level.

“…Maritime Education and Training can create the framework for the enhancement of gender diversity, a term almost fully neglected in maritime digitalization. Naranayan et al (2023) focus their research on the factors affecting female seafarers' participation in the male-dominated seafaring profession, examining their potential for participation in the evolving workplace. The result of their research reveals that the ongoing technological advances onboard ships might improve female seafarers' participation, provided that there will be a level playing field and gender neutral access for the acquisition of the needed IT skills and competencies.…”

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the challenges that appear in maritime human resource management, in the face of the digitalized environment in maritime business, due to the diffusion of new technologies, such as big data analytics, blockchain technology, and future MASS technology. The current study is based on a systematic review of the relevant literature attempting to respond to the analysis of the challenges described above. The study reveals that existing scientific interest concentrates on the training and education of the maritime workforce, the new skills required as well as the possible loss of traditional jobs and the creation of new ones, while mainly examining the seagoing personnel. However, limited attention has been paid to the practices of human resource management, which could facilitate the transition to the new era of maritime business. This study aims at contributing to the research in the field of Maritime HRM by revealing gaps in existing literature and suggesting areas for future research as well as new methodological approaches in addressing these gaps.
