Crew consultancy.
A different approach to the future?
We are now working in a very different industry from a few years ago,
times have changed; to be honest with you, the general feeling
from everybody is that the days have gone of jumping on a boat
&
earning the big bucks.
The boat budgets are tight, boats are operating skeleton crews,
charters are down in number & rates; & many boats are
for
sale.
The knock-on effects are that the salaries in many departments are
lower & for many of you, the main concern is job stability
&
that the boat does not have financial problems.
On top of all this (if
this is not enough), we are seeing increasing demands for crew to pay
tax & later, social security.
Like all changes, there are some good things as well. We have the ILO
conventions now enforce for all crew working on all commercially
registered yachts of over 200GT.
The ILO covers many aspects such as cabin space, working hours,
hygiene, crew contracts, down time & even study time.
All this, is
for your benefit.
In a recent trend, many crew became concerned about who they trained
with and the quality of the courses being offered; this year we have
seen a new trend developing in which many crews are looking for
longevity and security.
