- The maritime industry is undergoing a significant digital transformation (DT) to enhance efficiency and sustainability. This focused review investigates the current state of literature on technostress and resistance to change among seafarers as they adapt to new digital technologies. By critically reviewing a focused selection of peer-reviewed articles, we identify the main themes and trends within maritime research on DT. Findings indicate that while mental health issues are a predominant concern, this is yet to also be investigated in the context of new technology introduction in an industry that is already setting seafarers under pressure. Additionally, change management is not addressed, and DT is limited to specific functionalities rather than embracing broad work practice transformations
