Great news for the maritime community 🌊
The EU-supported SEA-CARE project has officially launched! Five maritime welfare organizations across Western Europe are joining forces to improve mental-health support during serious incidents at sea.
We’re starting with a short survey for everyone who may deal with onboard incidents — seafarers, shipowners, and maritime authorities.

🗓️ Survey open until 1 March 2026
Every response makes a difference.
