To promote maritime safety, efficiency, and habitability, it is important that seafarers maintain appropriate levels of mental and physical fitness while on board vessels. To help accomplish this, seafarers should be provided with suitable accommodation areas. Appropriate accommodation area design helps promote reliable performance by reducing the potential for fatigue and human error. Appropriately designed and outfitted accommodation areas may also enhance crew morale, recruiting, retention, comfort, and overall quality of life at sea. Conversely, inappropriate accommodation areas can adversely impact a seafarer’s ability to reliably perform assigned duties, fully relax, sleep, and recover from mentally and physically demanding work activities.
