BIMCO/ISF Manpower 2010 Update


Work will commence on this soon.



Interim Manpower Survey

 


In 2005, ISF and BIMCO conducted a comprehensive manpower update for the world-wide supply and demand of seafarers. A full update will be conducted in 2010. 

 

In the summer of 2008, we reached the mid-point between the 2005 update and the proposed 2010 update. The ISF Manning and Training Committee agreed that it was an appropriate time for ISF to conduct a "mini survey" in order to gain an approximate feel for any changes which have taken place regarding manpower supply and recruitment since the last full update was conducted. 

 

Survey results from ISF member national associations are not scientific, but nevertheless provide a snapshot of the current situation.

The Interim Manpower Survey* is available to download free of charge.
