BREMEN. According to the 2023 annual report by Berufs-bildungsstelle Seeschifffahrt (BBS) in April, the number of beginners in maritime shipping increased in 2023. It also states that 127 new training contracts (115 in 2022) were signed with training companies. The percentage of female apprentices rose from eight in 2022 to twelve in 2023. “In the fight against the lack of specialists, it’s essential not only to inspire young people to pursue a career at sea but also to promote their loyalty to the industry over the long term,” said BBS Managing Director Sabine Zeller (2nd from right).
