Crewing Online’s Global Seafaer Salary Index (GSSI) Provides a Good Salary Reference for Crew
- The Index, Published Quarterly, Ensures That Seafarers Are Paid in Line With the Market
Seafaring as a career option has been significantly weakened by the ongoing pandemic. Global media coverage of the crew change crisis and related issues has caused many prospective seafarers to reconsider their decision. Salaries are a first step in getting prospective seafarers to rethink. Applicants who are looking for a job naturally expect to be paid on par with the competition. However, it can be difficult to find out.
Overall, companies spend a lot of money on the salaries and benefits of their employees. The way a company rewards its most important asset has a tremendous impact on the overall performance of the team and the entire industry. Marine Online ‘s recruitment arm, Crewing Online, has released a quarterly salary index to help employers attract and retain the best talent.
