However, after China, the largest number of seafarer training in Turkey, the sea service time of seafarers is not at the desired level. For this purpose, the physical and psychological difficulties encountered by Turkish seafarers in marine services were researched through questionnaire. Approximately 600 seafarers participated, 25 questions were asked on different topics such as fatigue, stress, job satisfaction, salary, social life, piracy risk, and the effects of these subjects on their occupational life were investigated. It is aimed to contribute to the maritime industry by this study, which is important in terms of explanation and introduction of the profile of Turkish seafarers.
