Mariner Shortage Crisis in the US and Around the World: How do we recruit and retain our shipboard crew?
Executive Summary
The longer the labor shortage continues and if fewer people continue to come into the maritime industry, the easier it will be to chip away at the Jones Act and the need for a U.S. domestic fleet. The mandate for the United States is clear: we must invest in our sea services or
risk our standing as a great power. To ensure our national, homeland and economic security, we must recruit and retain the next generation of mariners to prove to our legislators and investors that the U.S. Domestic Fleet must grow and thrive again.
