As the current COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting crew change crisis exacerbates the mental health problem faced by seafarers, various maritime stakeholders have mobilised their resources and strengths to provide a variety of supportive measures to address the issue. This paper aims to find out what measures have been adopted in the industry and how widely they have been experienced/received by seafarers and evaluate their effectiveness. To achieve this aim, this research employed a mixed methods design involving qualitative interviews with 26 stakeholders and a quantitative questionnaire survey of 817 seafarers. The research identified a total number of 22 mental health support measures, all of which were perceived to have contributed positively to seafarers’ mental health. However, not all of them were widely available to or utilised by seafarers. The findings also highlighted the importance of family, colleagues, shipping companies, and government agencies, as they are associated with the most effective support measures, namely communication with family, timely crew changes, being prioritised for vaccination, being vaccinated, and a positive and collegial atmosphere on-board. Based on the findings, recommendations are provided.

由于当前的 COVID-19 大流行和由此产生的船员换班危机加剧了海员面临的心理健康问题，各海事利益相关者已动员其资源和力量提供各种支持措施来解决这一问题。本文旨在找出行业中采取了哪些措施以及海员体验/接受这些措施的范围，并评估其有效性。为实现这一目标，本研究采用混合方法设计，包括对 26 名利益相关者的定性访谈和对 817 名海员的定量问卷调查。该研究共确定了 22 项心理健康支持措施，所有这些措施都被认为对海员的心理健康有积极贡献。然而，并非所有这些都为海员广泛提供或使用。调查结果还强调了家人、同事、航运公司和政府机构的重要性，因为他们与最有效的支持措施有关，即与家人沟通、及时更换船员、优先接种疫苗、接种疫苗以及积极和积极的船上的学院氛围。根据调查结果，提供了建议。
