It is naturally to be expected that the stress of seafarers has some specific characters compared to other workers who are labouring on land. Because the physical rigors of working and living at sea has been endured as a part of job. The excessive stress caused by shipboard life, their jobs, can weaken the health status and court the work related accidents. Also it will be the immediate causes of marine accidents such as collision, sinking etc. In this paper, a questionnaire survey was undertaken to find out the approximate quantity and source of seafarer's occupational stress. And the heart rate of deck officers on duty was measured to develop a profile of correlation between the stress and the work.
