Abstract

This paper examines the difficulties experienced by a group of relatively young seafarer-partners. Drawing upon online observation and interview data, it suggests that these seafarer-partners suffer emotional loneliness, stigmatization and social isolation associated with the relatively long-term absences of seafarers. These experiences may have implications for seafarers’ morale at work and the retention of seafarers.
