Cyber Wellness at Sea
9 October 2019
This guidance is designed to provide practical considerations for shipowners initiating a shipboard internet system. It is entirely up to the crew and onboard management to ensure that by providing access to the internet, it is used in a positive way, i.e. for the wellbeing of seafarers.
The guidance covers the three primary principles of cyber wellness below, to help seafarers mitigate the associated risks and get the most benefit from the internet while at sea:
- Respect for self and others
- Safe and responsible use
- Manage non-work screen time
