Abstract

The standard of the facilities and furnishing of accommodation spaces is not only important because seafarers spend much of their lives at sea, but also because land-based research has demonstrated an impact of the built environment on well-being. This paper therefore examines seafarers’ current experiences of accommodation and recreational facilities. It reports on a large-scale international questionnaire study conducted in the period 2010-2012. In highlighting the significant variations in accommodation design and standards across the sector the paper highlights the considerable need for this area to be given far greater priority in the commissioning and design of modern vessels.
