新的 BIMCO/ICS 海員勞動力報告強調了嚴重的船長/大副短缺

國際船員供應鏈出現明顯的缺口, 今天發布的 BIMCO 和國際航運公會的新海員勞動力報告警告說，如果要避免到 2026 年海員總供應量嚴重短缺，該行業必須大幅提高培訓和招聘水平。 鑑於對 STCW 的需求不斷增長經認證的甲級船員，報告預測到 2026 年將需要額外的 89,510 名甲及船員來運營世界商船隊。該報告估計，目前有 189 萬海員為世界商船隊服務，在全球運營著超過 74,000 艘船隻。

此外，一些船副類別尤其供不應求。缺乏具有技術經驗的高級船員，尤其是在管理層，在油輪和近海領域(危險性較高)，據報導缺乏管理級甲板高級船員。

新加坡船舶管理公司 Synergy Marine Group 的首席執行官 Rajesh Unni 表示，鑑於過去 18 個月來許多人不得不忍受的生活，人們現在不可避免地要離開海上生活。

新加坡船舶管理公司 Synergy Marine Group 的首席執行官 Rajesh Unni 評論道：“如果你在各行各業中對人不利，那麼招聘和留住員工就會變得更加困難。”

許多接受調查的CREW MANNING正在擴大招聘範圍，以解決傳統人力資源強國印度和菲律賓經歷了非常嚴峻的流行病的任何潛在短缺問題。估計下一個填補空白的領域是非洲沿海國家。

抗疫期間的船舶,到底是人類之友?還是人類之敵?

作為船/岸間每航次第一位迎接者;也是最後一位送行者的領航員,不管是在進港或是出港登輪時,心中都比一般人多出一份”介面磨合”的感受.

就宏觀價值來看,聯合國,船東組織,工會組織都一再呼籲各國要將船員並列為全球性三大”關鍵工作者(KEY WORKER)”之一,一如載客飛機的機師/空服員,第一線救人的醫護人員.因為全球的糧食,原料,能源,等供應鏈要靠船舶去連結.但是實際上港口對於船員來說卻是極不友善的,非但沒有給予應有的平時性關懷與溫暖,疫情時更是將之視為境外移入的帶原者.船舶變成毒窟的代名詞;

反過來看,就船舶的角度來看,船上應該是最清潔安全的地方,第一個病毒都是由岸向船單向輸入而來.所以船員看到登輪者才真叫”恐怖份子”.誰都不知道這些登輪者的血液,口水,手上,腳底夾帶了多少萬隻的病原體來到單一密閉循環的船艙.
其實,單以每艘船為國內運進來上萬噸的物資來看,對這些遠道而來的客人(有許多是國人)也應心存感激.每船每櫃中運來的都是不同型態的N95,不是嗎?

在船/岸介面上,除了領港之外,還有一種重要的行業,就是造船工程師,這次COVID-19全球性的侵襲,如果(也應該是必然)能喚醒造船工程師對於所有船舶中的空調系統,能徹底作一次”顛覆性的改革”,譬如:AAA公共空間維持共通循環.BBB住人艙房通通改成”共同送風,切換式回風(必要時排出船外)”的獨立負壓式住艙.CCC衛浴間回風排出船外.那將徹底改變船舶與人之間的關係與定位.

屆時,當再有疫情發生時,所有的船舶(尤其是客船)都可以出租給醫療資源不足的國家做為”活動式海上隔離區”,徹底改變目前”鑽石公主郵輪15天確診人數增加70倍”及”羅斯福號航母7天增加35倍確診”,船舶是病毒溫床的現況.

歷史上每有重大海事,人們都會推出新的國際法規以資改進,如: 1912年鐵達尼號促成”國際海上人命安全公約”之實施;1967年Torrey Canyonu.油輪使MARPOL問世;1978年Amoco Cadiz輪而有PSC/STCW公約之問世….我誠摯希望2020年”鑽石公主輪”會帶來”船舶通風公約”之來臨.使未來的船舶永遠是人類之友!

年輕人的潛力,需要有被激發的機會

一般人對時下年輕人的印象,昨天在一個專業訓練的場合讓我學了一課,一群由台北海洋大學航技系到南部來接受STCW受訓的大,大二學生們,在無心理準備的情況下,於海上求生課程中登上一艘小艇後,被載到離岸約60/70公尺的深水港池中,在身著連身工作服的情況下,課程要求:跳水中並游至岸邊,攀上救生網登岸.(註:International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers，縮寫：STCW）

接著令人吃驚的一幕發生了,其中有兩位一組中女生的泳技較弱,由在旁的男同學以救生員救溺水乘客的仰漂姿勢將該位女生一路仰托游回岸邊,攀網而上,另外的一堆(約5/6人)則是以仰式躺著勾成一線齊力以手代槳,邊在寒冷的海水中取暖,邊齊聲喊著”加油”的口號鼓舞士氣,女生則列在中央安全的位置.場面煞是壯觀!

完全是一種”團隊互助”精神的體現,術科訓練能考驗出這種的結果,讓年輕學子直接感受到海水的威脅,與同心齊力之可貴,這一課,遠遠不是課堂中所能學到,所能體會的.讓我充分感到年輕人不是沒有潛力,而是沒有被激發出來的機會.

我們在職場,在生活中,是否應該換一種思維的模式:在生存安全的環境下,將年輕人的生活漸次推向險境,激發出他們求生的本能?

In this video I explain the requirements, training and certification that is needed for working in the international maritime industry (merchant marine). STCW convention can be very complex and wordy, so I simplify the regulations for those looking to join.

00:34 Part 1: Requirements for Everyone
03:17 Part 2: Deck Department - Ratings, Officers & Captain
06:00 Part 3: Engine Department - Ratings & Engineering Officers
06:56 Part 4: Optional & Misc
08:20 Part 5: Call to Action!! Call your maritime government to clarify.
