The presence of high noise levels aboard ships can cause substantial hazards that affect the well-being of those employed in the maritime industry. The study and implementation of occupational noise reduction aboard ships are of the highest priority for ensuring the well-being of marine workers, compliance with regulatory standards, protection of the environment, and improvement of overall operational efficiency and safety within the maritime sector. A scoping study was conducted to collect and summarize the existing scientific literature about approaches to preventing occupational noise in vessel operations. We searched electronic databases for papers published up to June 2024. Initially, 94 articles were identified for screening, and the present research produced 16 studies, which were finally analyzed. Resultantly, noise control may begin with elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative, and hearing protection (ear plugs or muffs). Noise control innovation would be started with engineering techniques. Hearing protection devices (HPDs) could be used to reduce noise and as an instrument of communication between sailors. More research needs to be carried out in order to find the best ways for maritime vessels to reduce noise at work and to see how well they work in lowering the risks that come with noise for workers on board.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph21070894","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,9]],"date-time":"2024-07-09T13:22:36Z","timestamp":1720531356000},"page":"894","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Scoping Review on Occupational Noise Mitigation Strategies and Recommendations for Sustainable Ship Operations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5657-1799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kresna","family":"Febriyanto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, 4200-355 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur, 75124 Samarinda, Indonesia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2367-2187","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joana Cristina Cardoso","family":"Guedes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, 4200-355 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7635-2219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis Jo\u00e3o Rodrigues Das Neves Correia","family":"Mour\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CIETI\/NBIN, Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP), Polytechnic of Porto, 4249-015 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"147","article-title":"Noise: A Risk Factor for Sailors\u2019 Health and Navigation Safety","volume":"43","author":"Picu","year":"2020","journal-title":"Ann. \u201cDunarea Jos\u201d Univ.
