“…39 For seafarers, the risk of hypothermia and frostbite are severe whilst having to wear thick gloves and clothing can diminish tactile sensitivity and manual dexterity. 40 There is also an increased risk of accidents and a much higher whole-body vibration factor, made even riskier by extreme darkness or high UV light exposure. 41 Maritime occupations are already associated with high levels of fatality and Arctic shipping increases the risk of death substantially.…”

Due to diminishing ice shelves in the Arctic, no doubt caused by climate change, previously unnavigable marine spaces are opening up, which in turn may provide new maritime routes. The shipping and maritime industry may capitalise on these routes more in the future as they provide shorter sailing times, and may assist with increasing oil and gas exploration and extraction in the region. However, increased maritime expansion in the Arctic comes with a number of unique risks and hazards for the insured and insurer. This opinion therefore seeks to discuss the implications of the multitude of risks that are associated with Arctic shipping from a marine insurance perspective and to highlight some of the gaps in existing regulatory frameworks. It is argued that marine insurers require improved data and risk management methodologies in order to better calculate the premiums of Hull & Machinery (H&M) and Protection & Indemnity (P&I) insurance policies for ships travelling through the Arctic. Until such time as these risks can be adequately assessed, evaluated, and managed by insurers; which of course is extremely difficult, due to the extreme environment, the unpredictability of climate change, a lack of key data, and the complexity of the various scenarios that can unfold in the Arctic environment, the practical viability of Arctic shipping remains doubtful. To date, insurers have paid out more in ship damage that has occurred in the Arctic than they have collected in premiums, which in itself is problematic. This situation may change in the future if Arctic shipping grows, and if it does the insurance market will no doubt, need to respond.

“…Furthermore, OHS is vital in specific sectors such as agriculture, where farmers are required to have knowledge of OHS to carry out their work with health and safety measures (Sarıcan et al, 2023). In the maritime industry, OHS has attracted increasing research attention, with a focus on the OHS of seafarers (Shan, 2020).…”

This study investigates the impact of compensation, occupational safety, and health on the productivity of online motorcycle taxi drivers in Medan City, utilizing a quantitative methodology. The research, encompassing 99 respondents from Go-Jek, Grab, and Maxim, employs multiple regression analysis, revealing a significant positive impact of compentations and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) on driver productivity across all platforms. The findings underscore that enhancing compensation and prioritizing safety and health are effective strategies for increasing productivity. The study suggests companies offering online motorcycle taxi services should develop policies to enhance the welfare and performance of drivers. Acknowledging the study's limitations, future research should consider additional factors for a comprehensive understanding.

In the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development, decent work and economic growth are the eighth sustainable development goal (SDG). Maritime transportation supports over 80% of the international trade, and more than 1.6 million seafarers work at sea to ensure marine transportation is safe, efficient and environmentally friendly. Seafarers make a critical contribution to sustainable maritime transportation. To ensure decent work conditions at sea and protect seafarers' rights is an important sustainable development goal. Drawing upon the case of port-based welfare facilities, this chapter aims to examine the current partnership of maritime labour governance, different roles of governmental and non-governmental organisations and how they work together to ensure and promote well-being and welfare of seafarers. This chapter will also discuss the current challenges faced by the public-private partnership in sustaining and developing seafarer welfare. We argue that a transformative partnership involving both public and private actors is required in the maritime labour governance, and sovereign states should recognize seafarers' key workers' status and assign more resources to international seafarers' welfare facilities.
