Mission to Seafarers” in an effort to support men and women working at sea provides useful guidelines on how to manage distressing events while on board.
When distressing events happen that are out of our control, most people feel upset, shocked and at times overwhelmed. Whilst at sea, such events might include injuries, operational incidents, bullying, or problems at home. In recent times, wider world crises and conflict may impact our lives.
Human reaction to stressful situations
No matter the age, rank, gender or job, it is natural to feel worried or distressed during such uncertain and often traumatic times. There is no one “correct” way to be in response to stressful events.

On March 28, Turkish and Romanian responders neutralized more Soviet-era Sea mines that were found drifting in the Black Sea.
Namely, the Romanian Navy minesweeper Vice Admiral responded to a floating naval mine that was spotted about 40 nm off Capu Midia, a Romanian military base located near Constanta.
To neutralize the mine a dive team used an inflatable launch to get close, and they destroyed the mine using an explosive charge.
In addition, in the Turkish waters of the Black Sea, another mine was found roughly 150 nm to the south of the Romanian Navy’s discovery. A Turkish Navy SAS team responded to the site and neutralized the mine.
The most recent drifting mines found were the second and third in three days, as during the weekend Turkish forces found and neutralized another “old type” mine near the busy entrance to the Bosporus.
