The \u201cHealthy Living at Sea\u201d series highlights many important areas, including the benefit of eating a balanced diet, regular exercise, disease prevention, and proper working patterns to avoid fatigue and stress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn today\u2019s tough climate, ship owners and ship managers cannot afford any downtime in a ship\u2019s operations, so maintaining a full complement of healthy crew is vitally important,\u201d says Raal Harris . Management and crew must have a good understanding of the risks, and plan ahead to ensure that all protective measures, both medical and practical, are in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Understanding healthy living is particularly important for crew when entering a port in a region where infectious diseases are prevalent. It is also possible that crew members may join a ship while incubating an infection which can spread all too easily in the close and enclosed living conditions onboard; therefore, the first programme in the series reviews personal hygiene and infections, and the second investigates infectious diseases and vaccinations.<\/p>\n<p>Other programmes in the series tackle substance abuse, safe sex, and the importance of the Statutory Medical Certificate. The last of these focuses on the responsibility of seafarers to provide honest and accurate information when undergoing a medical, including details of any prescribed medication taken to ensure enough supplies are available onboard.<\/p>\n<p>Videotel is renowned for caring about the health of crew and has offered free advice to mariners recently regarding two high-profile outbreaks, the Ebola and Zika viruses.<\/p>\n<p>Produced in association with Steamship Mutual, the \u201cHealthy Living at Sea\u201d series is available on the Ocean Learning Platform for more information click<a href=\"https:\/\/library.oceantg.com\/search-result\/healthy%20living\"> here<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>   <img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"145\" height=\"52\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oceantg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/OLP-logo.svg\" alt=\"\" title=\"OLP-logo\" class=\"wp-image-1618 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 145px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 145\/52;\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Ocean Learning Platform<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Accessible, repeatable, measurable \u2013 a learning solution for the 21st century vessel, available wherever you are in the world<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to learn more about OLP?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>    <a class=\"et_pb_button et_pb_promo_button\" href=\"https:\/\/oceantg.com\/ocean-learning-platform\/\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>   <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2717\" height=\"2703\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oneocean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OLP-phone-tablet1-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"OLP-phone-tablet1-1\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oneocean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OLP-phone-tablet1-1-1.png 2717w, https:\/\/www.oneocean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OLP-phone-tablet1-1-1.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.oneocean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OLP-phone-tablet1-1-1.png 980w, https:\/\/www.oneocean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OLP-phone-tablet1-1-1.png 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2717px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-3333 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2717px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2717\/2703;\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping seafarers fit and healthy is essential for their personal well-being, as well as safe running of the ship Videotel has produced a series of 10 programmes with accompanying workbooks that explore the many aspects of crew health onboard.
