Clyde Marine has witnessed significant shortages in the availability of UK Officers and Ratings. With a 40% reduction in UK Officers by 2023, and no integrated training scheme for Ratings in existence, the situation can only get worse. The UK has only 4000 Deck and Engine Ratings in comparison to Latvia which has 8000 Ratings.

To address the shortages and to ensure the continued supply of personnel to all of our client companies, Clyde Marine has established a network of offices throughout the EU. In casting a wider net and offering alternative solutions, Clyde Marine has ensured clients can continue to operate seamlessly without having to significantly change manning models. This allows our clients to concentrate on other aspects of their business in the knowledge that crewing is taken care of.
