Greece and the Philippines are two countries that have marked their presence in the shipping industry for different reasons. While the Philippines remain the world’s leading provider of seafarers, Greece is still the world's leading maritime powerhouse, accounting for the 21% of global fleet. This thesis aims to present both countries’ features and on a closer look, to focus on the well-being of Filipinos working under Greek shipping companies, as more and more Filipino seafarers occupy a large percentage of the crew of a Greek fleet.
In a simple yet comprehensive manner, we will present on the first part, various interpretations on what is well-being and the challenges of seafarers in the industry, addressing as well issues of stress on board and mental health. Furthermore, the reader will have a solid knowledge background on the role of ILO instruments, and the MLC 2006’s provisions on safeguarding seafarers’ welfare. The second part, chapter 3 and 4, explains reasons why foreign and Greek seafarers choose to work with Filipinos on board and why Filipinos on the other hand, are working at ships. Lastly we will concentrate our study on issues related to Filipinos’ well-being and mental health, considering the impact of Covid-19.
