Although we are now in the Christmas period it is still very much business as usual at Clyde Marine Recruitment. For example We currently have 62 open jobs on our website, 23 of which are for Deck Officers (covering all rank types…e.g. Chief Officer, 2nd Officer, DPO), 36 are for Engineering Officer vacancies (all rank types including 2nd Engineer and 3rd Engineer) and several other vacancies too. 
The marine industry is a 24 hour, 7 day, 365 days a year industry and so vacancies can arise at any time. With that in mind we are still inviting new candidates to register online and completing our application form for sea-going vacancies.  You can register to receive job alerts by email, so you can keep up to date with all our vacancies as tomorrow we may have more!  Please visit our website job listing for full details - http://www.clydemarinerecruitment.com/jobs/cmr_vacancies.asp

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.
