“…Gardner et al (1996) acknowledged that shipping policy measures in the post-war era fell within the scope of three categories, namely, fiscal incentives and financial assistance measures, labour, manning and training issues measures and external shipping policy measures. McConville and Glen (1997) addressed fiscal issues when investigating the impacts that the declining British fleet had on employment. Financial policy instruments have also been the scope of Yercan (1998) when analysed the Turkish maritime policy.…”

Purpose -The development of the current European economic area maritime cabotage market occurred when, at a policy level, the European Union forced the opening of its member-states cabotage markets to Community shipowners and extended this openness, in 1997, to the european free trade area countries. A twotier cabotage market emerged, where a European economic area legislative framework co-exists with the legislative acts of each member-state. With such a unique background, this paper aims to investigate both the European economic area member-states and the rest of the world cabotage regimes and identify a list of reasons and policy measures used to implement cabotage policies.Design/methodology/approach -By means of a desk research methodological approach, this paper analyses, from a geographical perspective, different countries' cabotage policies and classifies them, and identifies in a systematically way a set of reasons and policy instruments that support each of chosen policies approach.Findings -The outcome indicates that only a few countries promote free liberalised cabotage services and that most countries favour protectionist cabotage policies, whose governments can control the number of foreign vessels participating in these trades. Cabotage regimes have been categorised and the reasons behind both policies and respective policy instruments have been identified.Originality/value -Quite often, researchers only focus on the cabotage policies of the European economic area countries, the USA, Australia, Japan and South Korea. This paper value rests on its ability to incorporate cabotage policies from other African, Asian and Latin American countries and to update existing information on the subject. Overall, this paper paves the way to broaden the cabotage knowledge.

“…The latter is seen as one of the prime factors behind its adoption and the requirements of those within the scheme either to train a minimum number of seafarers or pay into a training fund are unique to the UK scheme and deliberately designed to address the anticipated shortfall. In many ways, the justi®cation of the scheme rests with this training provision and, in particular, whether the numbers of UK ex-seafarers identi®ed by Gardner et al [1] as required by the UK shipping industry based in the City of London, and elsewhere, are really needed for it to retain its pre-eminent international position [40].…”

“…Only one-quarter of the number of UK deck o cers employed at sea in the mid-1970' s were so employed in the mid 1990's [13], with further implications for the career prospects perceived by new entrants and the problems of recruitment. In mid-1997, assuming an o cer 18 J. Dinwoodie retirement age of 65, 9156 deck o cers were expected, reducing to 7690, assuming a retirement age of 57, of whom some 9% are usually shore based at any one time.…”

In recent years, external pressures on maritime businesses have increased their need to employ high calibre personnel, educated to respond e ectively to these pressures. Set against this requirement, the onus of acquiring a university education has shifted to the individual, as state subsidies to individuals seeking to undertake higher education in British universities have declined, and many corporate training programmes have been aimed at meeting the needs of an organization rather than the individuals within them. If the future supply of graduates is to match ongoing industrial requirements, one needs to understand why students enrol on particular courses, and how importantly they perceive employment considerations to be when making their decisions. This paper reports on a survey of why students at several British universities chose to enrol on undergraduate courses in Maritime Business, and considers the implications of its ® ndings for ensuring that an adequate supply of suitably educated graduates will continue to be available to meet industrial needs.
