Report
- Maritime Services
- 2020 Manpower Survey Report
New Blood Particularly Required for the Local Vessel Sector
Among the four sectors of the industry, the Local Vessel sector had the highest percentage of ageing staff (i.e. more than 40% of their staff were over the age of 55). The sector is expected to undergo technological transformation with the introduction of new high-speed ferries which requires the operators to master new navigation skills and maintenance knowledge. To ease the ageing problem and adapt to the application of new technology, new blood is particularly required for this sector.

- 2023 Manpower Update Report
Full Utilisation of Designated Training Fund for Cultivation of Home-grown Talents
Insufficient new blood, in particular those of the ocean-going and local vessel sectors, and the lack of experts in high-ended maritime services are still big concerns of the industry. As the 2023-24 Budget announced the injection of an additional $200 million into the Maritime and Aviation Training Fund (MATF), the industry and training providers are encouraged to propose new schemes under MATF to attract more students to study maritime programmes and encourage young employees to obtain higher qualifications with a view to building up a stronger talent pool.
