Tailwind in German maritime shipping

BREMEN. Sabine Zeller, MD of Berufsbildungsstelle Seeschifffahrt (BBS), was delighted to present the 2024 BBS annual report in Rostock in March. “Many measures have been taken in recent years to attract the next generation of employees and consolidate the shipping location. I couldn’t be happier that these efforts are now bearing fruit. We were able to conclude around 18 per cent more ship mechanic training contracts in 2024 than in the previous year. And our most impressive achievement was increasing the number of female apprentices from 12 to 23, which is more than 90 per cent,” says Zeller.
