Abstract

This paper presents the results of an analysis of the duration of voyages undertaken by National Union of Marine Aviation Shipping Transport (NUMAST) deck and engineer officers during 1998-99. It provides a snapshot of the employment profile of the officers, and compares voyage patterns across Organisation Type, Company Nationality, Flag of Registry, and Ship Type. Analysis of the various cross-tabulations of employment duration appears to show that the key driver is ship type, which it is argued, is a proxy for different markets, which have different employment requirements for its seafarers. Further work is needed to determine the factors which help to explain the observed variations in voyage durations. The paper is completed with an analysis of the age profiles of NUMAST officers by Flag of Registry. It is shown that significant variations in age profiles exist, with those working under Open registers being slightly older than those in the UK or UK related registers.
