Abstract
Fatigue has been noticeably under-researched in the maritime domain
compared to other transport sectors. In a review of the literature 11 databases were
searched in order to assess recent developments in the field and distil those issues of
greatest concern and challenge to the seafaring community. Whilst diversity in the
seafaring population has the potential to make global fatigue estimates meaningless,
evidence of mis-recorded working hours shows how cultural and commercial pressures
are universally shared.
