PNN Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], May 26: Indian maritime stalwarts believe that the key roadblock in increasing the global share of Indian seafarers going forward is the lack of adequate number of Indian senior officers serving merchant navy worldwide presently as Indian junior officers and ratings (semi-skilled Indian seamen) are usually paired with senior Indian officers as crew members aboard specialized merchant navy ships by most reputed maritime recruitment agents globally. Also, it is estimated that there exists a 7 to 10 per cent shortage of skilled seafarers worldwide.

"The global share of Indian seafarers is around 8 per cent currently whereas India accounts for roughly 18 per cent of the world's population. India has already surpassed China to become the world's most populous nation with 142.86 crores people. India has its largest ever adolescent and youth population and will continue to have one of the youngest populations in the world till 2030. Moreover, the Indian job market is estimated to witness 22 per cent churn over the next five years," said Capt Vinay Singh, Hong-Kong based and Group Managing Director Marine HR, Anglo-Eastern Group - world's leading shipping conglomerate. Capt Vinay Singh added, "In such a scenario as world's leading ship management company which is also one of the largest employer of Indian seafarers, Anglo Eastern Group plans to capitalize on the country's burgeoning young population to bolster the ship management business operations in India through specialized maritime training courses offered at the best merchant navy college of India, Anglo Eastern Maritime Academy or AEMA located near Mumbai city. Also, as a responsible corporate citizen of the country, AEMA would continue to endeavour to promote seafaring among female students of India."
