      How do you think being away from home for long periods affects seafarers? Are there any roles that can help them use their skills and experience without feeling isolated? For example, I have heard of roles such as Designated Person Ashore or Technical Superintendent.

      I think it does. It can cause feelings of loneliness and burnout, especially when they are away from their loved ones. The good news is that there are opportunities that allow seafarers to stay in the industry but be closer to home. For example, positions such as a designated person ashore or a technical superintendent allow them to use their experience without leaving their family for long periods, all available on https://wheon.com/top-3-career-opportunities-for-mariners-ashore-stay-in-the-industry/ I came across an article that goes into detail about these career opportunities.

      Yes, I have heard about this too. Being away from family for long periods can cause loneliness and burnout.

I recently came across an article that goes into detail about these career paths.

      Hey, recently I was thinking about the working conditions of seafarers and by chance came across https://rednotebook.gr . What caught my attention was the coverage of professional topics and the challenges seafarers face when away from home for long periods. I started reading regularly and appreciated how they present options for roles like Designated Person Ashore or Technical Superintendent, which allow seafarers to use their skills and experience without feeling isolated. Now I feel more informed about careers in shipping and can join discussions on the topic in Greece with greater confidence.
