The Mission to Seafarers says that its just published second quarter 2025 Seafarers Happiness Index, reveals an encouraging uplift in seafarer wellbeing, with the average happiness score rising to 7.54/10, up from 6.98 in the first quarter. Positive trends were seen across all core areas, from connectivity and food to training and wages, painting a picture of a better-supported workforce at sea. Yet despite the improving numbers, seafarers are also sounding a clear and urgent alarm, as safety standards and basic protections are increasingly under threat.
The report revealed that seafarers are finding more day-to-day satisfaction in their roles. Interactions among crews remain the most positive aspect of life onboard. Similarly, connectivity, which is vital for maintaining family ties and mental wellbeing, has continued to improve. Access to reliable internet, even if uneven across fleets, has been life-changing, giving seafarers ability to video call loved ones and enjoy moments of normalcy through entertainment and social connection.
