Based on the latest statistics, which relate to the end of June 2017, an estimated 73 per cent of ratings of known nationality employed by members of the UK Chamber of Shipping are non-EEA nationals. These figures are based on table SF0303 which was released as part of the ‘Seafarers in the UK Shipping Industry: 2017’ statistics.
