Beginning with this volume 59/2008, we produce and distribute not only printed copies of the International Maritime Health, but also we shall publish the journal in the internet.
This was possible because this year we have received from the ITF Seafarers’ Trust the financial suport for expansion of our work.

From January 2009, much greater number of Readers will be able to share the knowledge and experience on the health problems of maritime workers with all Authors of papers published in volumes of the IMH.

We hope that this change will also encourage more Authors to send us their texts. Receiving this valuable support from the Trust is greatfuly acknowledged.
