| Abstract: | Explicit Recognition of Seafarer Mental Health within India's Maritime Regulatory Framework: Aligning with Global Standards and Addressing Lived Realities -Dr. Aditi Suresh Mane, Assistant Professor, Maharashtra National Law University, Mumbai. Contact: 1993aditim@gmail.com , aditi.mane@mnluedu.in Abstract: The mental health of mariners has emerged as a serious concern in contemporary maritime law, situated at the intersection of international conventions and domestic regulation. The Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC) mandates complete protections under Title 4, including health, medical care, welfare, and social security, yet psychological well-being remains only implicitly recognized. Complementing this, the STCW Convention emphasizes fatigue management, while guidelines issued by the ILO and IMO highlight the fair treatment of seafarers. In the Indian context, the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 provides a foundational framework on employment, safety, and repatriation, and the Maritime Labour (MLC) Rules, 2016 mark India’s domestic compliance with international standards. Further, circulars from the Directorate General of Shipping, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, have sought to address crew change and welfare challenges. However, broader national initiatives such as the National Maritime Development Programme and the Sagarmala Project prioritize trade and infrastructure over seafarer welfare. This gap underscores the need for an explicit recognition of mental health within India’s maritime regulatory framework, aligning with global standards while addressing the lived realities of Indian seafarers. |
