Seafarers happy at sea

But the industry faces increased challenges and more well trained competent officers will be needed

PRELIMINARY results of a new survey suggest that most seafarers are content with life at sea.

The survey is being carried out as part of the Manpower Report 2015 being prepared jointly by industry organisations International Chamber of Shipping and BIMCO. The study is directly engaging seafarers in order to understand their views on life at sea and the outlook for the industry's manpower requirements in the years ahead.

The report has been published every five years since 1990 and has been based on two main sources - a questionnaire completed by shipping companies and another completed by national maritime administrations.
