The present study was completed through five chapters and dealt with the issue of mental fatigue and resilience of seafarers in the context of the pandemic. The factors that caused signs of high fatigue in sailors at sea were examined. A role in this was played by the long period of stay at sea due to blockades at sea with movement restrictions. Seafarers away from their families for long periods showed symptoms of intense stress, mental fatigue and illness with the possibility of human error always on the surface.
Research was carried out through a systematic review according to which 25 articles were analyzed on the subject of the study where it was studied whether the mental health of seafarers has an effect on the efficiency of ships and how this affects shipping companies. Through the research it was concluded that the physical and mental fatigue of the sailors on the ship is treatable. Also, exercise and any form of physical activity that works beneficially for the physical and mental health of employees plays a big role. Finally, it is deemed necessary for the seafarer to remain on leave while working so that he has time to rest and better prepare for his next voyage.
Keywords: Seafarers, pandemic, physical fatigue, mental fatigue, pandemic, stress, mental illness.
