Research project: Seafarers’ experiences in the Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz after 28 February 2026

The aim of this research project is to understand how the current instability and disruption to shipping in the Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz affects seafarers, and to identify factors that may increase the resilience of crews operating in high-risk maritime environments in the future.

The research project is carried out by a team of researchers from RethinkBlue Working Group 1, consisting of Dr B Pauksztat (Nordland Research Institute, Norway), Dr A Slišković (University of Zadar, Croatia), Dr Pedro Ferreira (University of Lisbon, Portugal) and Dr Gesa Praetorius (Swedish National Road and Transport Institute, VTI, Sweden) and Dr Jason Zuidema (ICMA).

The results will be presented at a webinar around the end of June / early July. The webinar will be open to all who are interested.

More information will be available here on this website closer to the time.

If you have any questions about the project, please contact Dr Birgit Pauksztat (bpa@nforsk.no).
