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.


She Only Wants My Money

This phrase is often presented as the «last argument» in a fight, in the heat of emotions as an extreme expression of resentment and it can reflect a man’s emotional experiences that his value in relationships is only reduced to material support.

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.





Norway Plans Shipping Tunnel

27.02.2025
Norway is planning to build the world's first full-size shipping tunnel. Six international contractors are battling for the contract.
The 1.7-kilometer Stad Shipping Tunnel, which runs through the Stad Peninsula, will provide ships with a safe route through the treacherous Stadhavet Sea known for its dangerous currents and rough weather.
 
The shipping tunnel will connect Moldefjord and Kjodepollen in Vanylvsfjord passing through the narrowest part of the peninsula. It will be 50 meters high and 36 meters wide.
 
The main goal of the project is to improve safety at sea as the Stadhavet Sea is one of the most dangerous in Norway.
 
Over the past 80 years 33 people have died in maritime accidents in this area. Unpredictable currents, strong winds and frequent storms make navigation difficult.
 
One of the most difficult engineering challenges will be building the tunnel openings which will be as tall as the tunnel itself – seven times higher than a standard road tunnel. If all goes according to plan, the contract will be awarded in the fall of 2025 with construction starting in early 2026.
 
After the completion of construction the Stad Tunnel will be a historic breakthrough in marine engineering, providing safer and more efficient navigation for ships sailing along the Norwegian coast.
