Abstract

The quality of shipboard habitability is the integrated effect of all factors determining the behaviour, health and well-being of the seafarer under his specific conditions of service, comprising:

  1. 1.

    Physical environment: exposure to noise and vibration, climatic conditions, illumination, work and leisure considerations;

  2. 2.

    Working environment: man-machine interactions, ergonomic considerations;

  3. 3.

    Social environment: psychological interactions, sea service conditions.
