The Marine Society has a proud heritage, over 100 years of supplying ships with crew libraries – providing a welcome refuge for crew from the pressures of shipboard life.

Research has acknowledged the role reading can play in crew welfare, from social engagement to aiding relaxation or language skills – improved emotional well-being is vital for onboard safety.

A library remains a cost-effective way to contribute to crew welfare, and our numerous shipping company clients gain the benefit while also complying with the recommendations of the Maritime Labour Convention.

Choose the library that is best for your crew:

• Non-returnable paperbacks, ensure that seafarers have access to quality fiction and popular non-fiction books
• Marine Society Digital Library App – a new innovation launched in 2019 allows crew to access thousands of books in multiple languages through their own smart phone or tablet. Simply download and read
