Map of Abandonment

The map shows all abandonments in the ILO database. It also shows territorial waters. Layers can be toggled on and off using the layers menu in the top right. This map (and the database it is built on) aims to make seafarer abandonment more visible, and to provide a tool for researchers, journalists and maritime organisers to understand the distribution and trends of abandonment.

The database is open source and free for use, but please cite: Eliza Ader, Jacob Bolton, & Miriam Matthiessen, (2022), Map of Seafarer Abandonment.
