1. For everything that has been said about #crewchange, we still can’t get reliefs even when we go to ports where crew change is allowed. Lots of my crew are over their contracts and a number are over by more than 10 months.

2. I feel physically sick when grown adults cry in my cabin because they want to go home. I didn’t sign up for this. None of us did.

3. Still fighting with ever changing rules & regs from the company and authorities to get one crew member home. He has done over 11 months onboard and nobody cares. I had to threaten ITF intervention before the process was allowed to start. This is happening all over the industry

4. As well as issues with #CrewChange we have had no shore leave on here for over 12 months.

All these things may seem small, but they are important to us and our health and well-being.

Yes our mental health.

5. Just left port where ship shore interaction was with one guy in a hazmat suit who looked like an extra from a disaster movie. All of this is getting me down.

The mental health impact of this will be with the industry for years to come.
