LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Dear Readers, Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure we present the next issue of “International Maritime Health” to our Readers.

This is a Special Issue dedicated mainly to psychology of people working at sea.

It is well known that psychological problems of seafarers are recently very often underlined as the factors conditioning the proper life and work functioning. People working at sea in their daily work life have to face such problems as: stress, fatigue, addictions, depression, neurosis, suicides and many others. We make it our obligation to publish the latest scientific reports concerning mental health regularly.

We are very happy that this volume is coming out before the ISMH12 — International Symposium on Maritime Health in Brest, France. During this meeting we will have an opportunity to discuss these problems.

This Special Issue could not come into being without our Colleagues from Norway. We would like to express our thanks for their support and contribution.

We wish IMHA Members and all “International Maritime Health” sympathisers good and satisfying reading that will broaden your knowledge.

Maria Jeżewska

IMH Editor-in-Chief
