Workers may appreciate the extra income, but it may not be enough to keep them from looking for new work after a tough and demanding 2021. “We heard from many seafarers, particularly those aged 35 and over, that they were not intending to return to sea once they eventually got home,” according a Standard Club report. “There is likely to be a growing shortfall in seafarers in the coming years.”
