We’ve released the first joint podcast from Steamship Mutual and MHSS, offering practical support for seafarers affected by the ongoing crisis in the Persian Gulf.

 In this episode, Charles Watkins from MHSS shares one core message: acknowledge what you’re feeling.

By naming stress or emotion, seafarers can regain clarity and control — a simple technique known as “Name it to tame it.”

Our aim is to provide short, reassuring guidance for crews working under exceptional pressure, and to remind them that support is always available.

Listen to the episode and learn more about our partnership with MHSS on the Steamship Mutual website.

How to access the FREE helpline

A FREE 24/7 helpline is available for Steamship Members through the Club’s partnership with MHSS. Seafarers can obtain the dedicated phone number and email via their crewing manager or the vessel’s Captain.

For further information, you may also contact Viktoriia Glavatska (Loss Prevention Executive) at viktoriia.glavatska@simsl.com or your usual Club contact.
