COVID19 AND THE SAFETY OF SEAFARERS

/reports/2020/10/covid19-and-the-safety-of-seafarers

Seafarers are an integral, if often overlooked, workforce, people who are essential both to individual communities and to the global economy. From navies and coast guards, to commercial industries such as fishing, shipping, and tourism, a healthy and valued workforce at sea is central to global stability. The COVID-19 pandemic and its unintended side effects across the blue economy have disproportionally hit seafarers, from those lacking ready access to medical care at sea, to those suffering economic damages while stranded ashore. Port state obstacles to crew rotations, isolation due to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines, restricted shore leave, extended contracts, and erratic port state guidance directly endanger mariners’ livelihoods and their mental health. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored how readily these frontline workers can slip out of view. Mariners face immediate health risks from COVID-19 exposure, risks similar to those faced by nurses, delivery drivers, and grocery store clerks, but often serve without the dignity and resources that can come with being formally deemed essential. Yet efforts to safeguard mariners from COVID-19 differ depending on industry, in many cases with cost and risk falling squarely on the mariners themselves. What emerges from this network of interlocking risks is the need for robust action across every stakeholder group—including the public—to safeguard seafarers and society while promoting dignity and stability for a critical workforce. This policy paper, reflecting ongoing work by CNA to understand these risks to mariners, is meant to contribute to a global conversation on the risks mariners face and some of the steps necessary to protect and sustain these vulnerable workers and the societies that rely upon them.

This document presents the wide-ranging views of an advisory group of retired flag and general officers from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps on the subject of national security and assured U.S. electrical power. Since 2006, this advisory group, referred to as CNA's Military Advisory Board (MAB), has examined the linkages between climate, energy, and national security, and has brought its vast operational, tactical, and strategic experience and perspective to domestic and international discussions. Past MAB reports include National Security and the Threat of Climate Change, Powering America’s Defense: Energy and the Risks to National Security, Ensuring America’s Freedom of Movement: A National Security Imperative to Reduce U.S. Oil Dependence, and the CNA MAB’s most recent work, National Security and the Accelerating Risks of Climate Change.
