Abstract

The Global Labour Market for Seafarers (GLMS) study has been conducted by the Seafarers International Research Centre (SIRC) for several years, and data collated from crew lists is available for the periods: 1993-2000; 2002; and 2003. Data from the study have previously been used to consider the profile of the seafaring workforce for the global cargo fleet in terms of characteristics such as age, nationality, ship type, and rank. The GLMS produces labour market estimates based upon crew lists collected from a sample of world ports. Its innovative methodology offers a valuable alternative to labour market estimates based on surveys of employers which suffer from low and potentially biased response rates as well as from a necessary reliance upon the subjective views of managers. Bias within the GLMS is more transparent, where it exists, and it relates almost entirely to port (sample) selection which can be assessed using comparisons with world fleet composition data.
