- 7. In the press Weare thought leaders of the industry and showcase this through regular publications, surveys and news which we release to marketplace. Car allowance Travel allowance Paid overtime Pension Private health Life insurance Bonus Top benefits (shorebased) by company type: Owner / Operator Class / Flag Consultancy Cargo owner 3rd party 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 The charts below should help to challenge the myth that benefits offered by shipowners are much better than those offered by third party ship managers. In recent years ship managers have offered their employees packages which increasingly reflect those on offer in-house as they seek to retain the best talent in the market in order to keep the business of the owner clients. However, shipowners do have the edge over ship managers when it comes to lifestyle benefits such as paid lunch, gym membership or optional holiday credits. Many shipping companies have a strong tradition of treating their staff more as a member of the family and attract very strong staff loyalty. We can see that class and flag surveyors are able to make up for their lower base salaries through overtime as well as good pension packages. A typical surveyor might expect to achieve an extra 30% salary through working overtime. Cargo owners offer their staff the most generous packages, reflecting the fact that most of their staff will be commercial revenue generators rather than technical people. Benefits.

Vessel type The results of this survey are based on responses from shipping professionals working in every global shipping centre and from seafarers worldwide. It takes in all the world’s major merchant trades, as well as offshore, cruise, superyachts, tugs and other niche sectors. The survey was sent out in April 2012 and received 4,000 responses from shipping industry workers globally. The data we present here shows some interesting insights into the transition from sea to shore, the variety of packages available to employees and the range of salaries across the industry. The findings are designed to be useful to both employees and employers. We hope that employees, particularly seafarers, will be able to gain a clearer picture of the many career opportunities open to them once ashore and the salaries which they can expect to achieve. All too often transiting to the shore-side sector is seen as something which only the most senior officers can do, but people with five to ten years seafaring experience are most certainly in demand. At the same time, we hope that employers can use this data to help inform them about hiring decisions and internal pay reviews.
