The Q2 2025 Seafarers Happiness Index shows a significant rise in well-being scores, climbing to 7.54 from 6.98 in Q1. This recovery follows a low of 5.85 in May 2022. While improved morale stems from better food and camaraderie, serious safety concerns, including dangerous working conditions, persist.
Recent Seafarer Happiness Index report reveals that crew members are happier on longer routes to avoid the Red Sea, leading to improved morale and increased happiness scores.
