The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdowns significantly impacted both mental and physical health.
Social isolation, reduced physical activity, and changes in diet during lockdown led to increased stress, anxiety, and depression, while also negatively affecting physical well-being.
Many of us found lockdown difficult to manage.
Our homes may have also become our workplace, we could not meet our friends and relatives, or go to weddings or funerals.
In comparison, there are normal aspects of everyday life for marine and offshore workers.
Although conditions have changed, marine and offshore workers still have very little time or space to themselves, during their duty hour.
In the 1980s it was common to have four or six bunks in a cabin and you might have to wait for a co-worker to vacate a bunk, when they started their shift. This was called 'hot bedding."
Rules now prohibit hot bedding and cabins generally 3m2 required per person.
Modern marine and offshore accommodations are designed with workers' welfare in mind and include not only individual bunks but also restaurants, gyms, cinemas, and other recreational facilities.
Nevertheless, many workers still prefer to spend most of their free time in their cabins.
The cabin is their only private space and occupies the most important part of their life in the marine and offshore environment.
Work It involves hard physical work and long hours
Offshore life can be mentally and emotionally draining, with workers separated from family and friends.
we are dedicated to developing innovative accommodation plans that allow marine and offshore workers to enjoy a fulfilling social life, while providing cabins that are comfortable and relaxing, even under the most challenging conditions
