This study examines the critical importance of mental health and resilience within the marine industry, identifying unique challenges faced by seafarers and evaluating the effectiveness of current practices. The primary objectives are to assess the landscape of mental health and resilience initiatives, understand their impact on seafarer well-being and operational safety, and provide strategic recommendations for industry improvement. Through a systematic review of literature, including academic journals, industry reports, and international guidelines, the study synthesizes existing research on mental health challenges, resilience-building strategies, and the role of regulatory frameworks in the marine sector. Key findings reveal growing awareness of mental health issues among seafarers, with advancements in telepsychology and digital interventions. However, gaps in access to services, cultural sensitivity of interventions, and uniformity in policy implementation persist as significant barriers. The study highlights the positive correlation between comprehensive mental health support and enhanced crew performance, safety, and economic efficiency. It calls for increased collaboration among maritime stakeholders to foster a culture of well-being and safety, emphasizing the need for accessible, culturally appropriate interventions and robust regulatory support. Future research should focus on closing knowledge gaps, particularly regarding intervention effectiveness and the impact of cultural diversity on mental health outcomes, to drive the industry towards a more sustainable and mentally healthy future.This study examines the critical importance of mental health and resilience within the marine industry, identifying unique challenges faced by seafarers and evaluating the effectiveness of current practices.
