In July and early August of this year, the International Christian Maritime Association (ICMA) surveyed its members about how COVID-19 had affected seafarers’ welfare in their areas, what kinds of services they were offering them, what approach they were taking to protecting seafarers from COVID-19, and how COVID-19 and emergency funding had affected their finances. We received 95 responses. These are the results of that survey, with a regional comparison included at the end.
