Seafarer health and well-being has long been a concern in the shipping industry because of the unique characteristics of working at sea. This paper aims to identify the role of burnout in seafarer health and well-being and its effect on safety. In particular, we differentiated seafarer burnout into personal and work-related burnout to reflect the ambiguous distinction between rest and work in seafarers' job environment. We also investigate the effectiveness of emotion regulation for seafarers to reduce burnout. This study proposes a conceptual framework to identify the causal relationship between occupational stress, sleepiness, emotion regulation, burnout, and incidents at sea. To verify the proposed framework, scales were adapted from established scales in the literature; a cross-sectional survey was also conducted to collect empirical data for analysis with path and simultaneous equation models. The analysis results revealed that personal and work-related burnout in seafarers are mutually affected; however, only work-related burnout exerts a direct effect on incidents. Reappraisal is an effective emotion regulation strategy in seafarers to reduce personal burnout, but not work-related burnout. Occupational stress and sleepiness exert positive effects on both personal and work-related burnout; yet, their effect on incidents is mediated by work-related burnout.

Environmental issues have been a popular topic in various academic research areas including transportation. The aim of this paper is to identify major environmental research topics and research methods in the transportation field and thereby explore possible global research agenda. This paper selected a total of 1,291 papers from 51 journals based on keywords including both transport and environment. The literature survey shows that the number of environmental issue papers published in transportation journals has been growing significantly since 2007. Greenhouse gas emission is among the hottest topic in our literature survey. Little environmental research was conducted regarding maritime transport, as compared to passenger, land and aviation sectors. In terms of popular methodologies adopted to tackle environmental issues in the transportation journals, the top three methods are emission analysis, survey and simulation. There is plenty of room in conducting future transportation research in environmental topics, particularly in the maritime field.
