Personnel Shortage: the Shortage of Officers in the World has Reached a Record High. Who are Ukrainian Crewing Companies Looking for?

The shortage of ship officers in the global merchant fleet has reached its highest level in the last 17 years. The global consultancy Drewry reports this. Thus, the shortage is estimated at 9%, while a year ago it was 5%. This is in line with BIMCO's forecasts and the International Chamber of Shipping's Seafarer Workforce Report, according to which the shortfall will increase to 20% by 2026.

What Influences the Forming of a Seafarer’s Salary in the World and Should we Expect its Increase in 2025?

As a rule, people who choose to work at sea either are head over heels in love with romance of travelling, or are dreaming about big money. Those in the second category clearly know where they are working and why, what prospects are open to them. However, there are some factors that do not always depend on a specific sailor.

Distance From Family. Is it Possible to Make up for Lost Events? How to Mitigate the Effect of Absence?

Working away from home inevitably impinges on both the one who works - a seafarer, and his family members. The seafarer missed the whole “series” of family events and it is impossible to make up for them post factum.
