“…There are, however, a number of studies from different parts of the world (e.g. Guo et al 2005, Guo et al 2010, Pan et al 2011, Sencila et al 2010, Turker & Er 2007. A particular interest can be seen within the cruise sector, probably due to the link between employee job satisfaction and customer satisfaction in service occupations (e.g.…”

Ongoing research has indicated important effects on seafarers' occupational commitment due to gender and family situation. In this study, these findings have been elaborated further by controlling for the effect of perceived work content. Statistical analyses were employed, using a survey material of Swedish seafarers collected from a national register in 2010. The results showed that the effect on occupational commitment of having children at home is strongly positive and statistically significant for women. However, the significance was dependent on the level of satisfaction with the job content. It was suggested that the seafaring occupation could be viewed as a cooping strategy, although only appropriate if the job content is agreeable. Another important family effect was, as expected, the positive effect of having a relative working, or having worked, at sea. This effect was, however, only significant for male seafarers in the age group below the early 40's. It was concluded that this effect is mainly emotionally driven and not particularly influenced by the actual job content. The results further showed that working in the catering department comes with a strong negative effect on commitment to the seafaring occupation for women. This effect, however, lost its significance after control for job content. It was concluded that the effect of satisfaction with job content on occupational commitment is generally important, with the exception of women, without children, working in the catering department.

“…This factor is related to the fact that salaries offered by the same shipping company can have different attractiveness for seafarers coming from different countries. It is predicted that in future the majority of marine officers worldwide will be employed from the less developed countries (Glen, 2008;Sencila, Bartuseviciene, Rupšiene , Kalvaitiene, 2010).…”

Shortage of seafarers is important topic as maritime industry plays a key role for economy of the European Union. According to the latest assessment of economic value of shipping industry in 2012, the EU shipping industry is estimated to have directly contributed €56 billion to GDP, employed 590,000 people, and generated tax revenues of €6 billion. During recent years increasing attention is paid to the education and training of seafarers as the seafarers and their knowledge are essential to sustainable development of the maritime cluster, as indicated in the maritime strategy of European Union. Indicative estimates suggest there were almost 38,000 students/cadets in maritime academy-type training across the EU and Norway in 2012, a 11% increase from 2004. Understanding of current trends in the pool of seafarers is prerequisite for successful implementation of the strategy. Main obstacle for assessment of effectiveness is lack of possibilities to monitor contribution from maritime education institutions to current state of European seafarers' pool. The aim of this article is to show parameters which should be taken into account to model seafarers' supply in future. The parameters are discussed on the basis of information from the Seamen Registry of Maritime Administration of Latvia. http://www.transnav.eu the International Journal on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation Volume 8 Number 2
