Understanding women’s roles, experiences and barriers to participation in ocean science education in Kenya
Gender equality is critical to achieving transformative action, policies and change towards sustainable ocean management. However, historically women have been largely excluded from ocean science and management programmes, including education. Recent commitment to promoting gender equality in ocean science, notably in the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, aims to ensure women have equal opportunity to engage in o…
Empowering Seafarers as Agents of Their Mental Health
The academic literature seldom views information and communication technology (ICT) as a means to empower merchant seafarers in terms of their active and positive contributions to their mental health (MH) and overall well-being. Seafarers are often viewed as recipients and not the sources of health interventions. Using mixed methods, this paper examines how seafarers' MH has not been the top priority among seafarers themselves, and how ICT and fo…
Effectiveness of gender policies in achieving gender equality in ocean science programmes in public universities in Kenya
The recently proclaimed Ocean Decade by the United Nations General Assembly is committed to gender equality and women’s empowerment in ocean science research and governance. This paper examines the status of gender equality in ocean science research across higher education institutes in Kenya. Kenya has ratified international conventions for gender equality and developed national and institutional gender equality and sexual harassment policies as…
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on seafarers’ mental health and chronic fatigue
While commercial shipping remained vital for maintaining global supply chains during the COVID-19 pandemic, measures imposed to control the spread of infection have disrupted crew changes and impacted interactions with port personnel and among crew members on board. Initial reports indicate that this affected work and life on board, the length of seafarers' time on board as well as seafarers' employment and family concerns. However, the consequen…
Seafarers’ mental health during the Covid-19 pandemic
As the current COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting crew change crisis exacerbates the mental health problem faced by seafarers, various maritime stakeholders have mobilised their resources and strengths to provide a variety of supportive measures to address the issue. This paper aims to find out what measures have been adopted in the industry and how widely they have been experienced/received by seafarers and evaluate their effectiveness. To achi…
Scenario planning for an autonomous future
Ship first
The article explores the recordkeeping practices of seafarers concerning the implementation of work and rest hours' regulations. In particular, it considers what motivates seafarers to hide their violations through record adjustment. The research adopted a qualitative research methodology to understand this industry problem, involving the use of semi-structured interviews. These were conducted with 20 seafarers to analyze their recording practice…
Agile social learning – capacity-building for sustainable development in higher education
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand the usefulness of an agile social learning method in higher education to build capacity for sustainable development at the community level. Social learning methods intend to empower students (and instructors) to work together in connection with real-life issues – combined with acquiring a conceptual understanding – to analyze issues at hand and work out solutions. The agile format of the method w…
Sexual harassment and women seafarers
The #MeToo campaign has put under the spotlight an old issue and exposed how little societies have advanced since the first sexual harassment law was enacted. The maritime sectors are not free from this criticism with a number of aggravating factors. First, there has not been a separate discussion from the general one on sexual harassment on board. Second, this discussion is necessary in light of the work environment in which it takes place, on b…
Geopolitics of Arctic shipping
The starting point of the analysis in hand is a brief discussion of the so-called ‘Arctic Passages.’ Considering that ice and ice-pacts will remain a concern in the future, the support of icebreakers will still be needed to facilitate the safe passage of ships. Describing the state of these types of vessels currently available is the main aim, with a particular focus on key state players: the Russian Federation (RF), the United States of America …
