K-Means clustering identified three distinct profiles, with the high-risk group (Cluster 0) exhibiting critical Digital Ageing (45.12) and Emotional Exhaustion (21.90) scores. Decision Tree analysis indicates medium income as the primary root node for burnout stratification. SHAP analysis pinpoints mid-to-late career experience (16\u201320 years) and being a Deck Officer as the strongest catalysts for exhaustion, whereas younger age (21\u201325) and lower experience (6\u201310 years) act as protective buffers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Digital burnout in the maritime sector is a spectrum condition driven by professional hierarchy and career midpoint pressures, rather than mere technology use.
