Abstract

Green shipping enjoys high attention on the environmental agenda of the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). After the implementation of the SECA regulation in BSR in 2015, the next step towards cleaner shipping will be the NECA regulation from 2021. Both emission control measures represent a partial but important position in the socio-economic impact of green shipping comprising occupational health, safety and environmental issues.
It is still not clear if green jobs are safe for workers and this poses new challenges for occupational health and safety—such as new emerging risks related to new technologies, dangerous chemicals, processes, workforce and demographic changes. Traditionally, shipping is perceived to be a relatively dangerous industry since maritime sector workers are often exposed to long hours of demanding working conditions, isolation, rigid organisational structures and high levels of psychological stress and physical fatigue that could lead to occupational diseases, accidents and harm.
The presented research is empirically validated by survey results, primary data analysis and expert interviews and explores the possible occupational health risks of the Baltic Sea shipping workers to determine their work-health related challenges. The results are further discussed vis-a-vis the impact of SECA regulations on maritime workers.
