In 2001, a study on Malaysian seafarers was conducted by the Maritime Institute of Malaysia (MIMA). It was discovered that Malaysia relies on the services of foreign seafarers to fulfil about 44% of the manning requirements for its ships. Various reasons were cited for this situation. Among others, the lack of adequate numbers of Malaysian choosing seafaring as a profession. The issue is revisited in 2004, to determine the current profile of seafarers serving Malaysian ships and to identify issues and challenges. This paper presents the findings and provides recommendations on steps to be taken to remedy this situation. Maritime Economics & Logistics (2004) 6, 360–367. doi:10.1057/palgrave.mel.9100118 |
