Scandinavian marine insurer Alandia Insurance has started a loss prevention project to provide education and training programmes in support of seafarer mental health.
It has teamed up with Norwegian safety company Bla Mediamentor to develop the package.
Alandia loss prevention executive Johanna Kull said mental health problems are on the increase and leading to even higher seafarer suicide rates.
She said the situation is nearing a “critical point”.
