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.

Difficulty in Attracting New Blood Remains a Big Challenge of the Industry
The industry, in particular the local vessel sector, is still struggling with the ageing problem and the lack of new blood. Concerted efforts among the employers, training institutes and the Government are required to enhance the youngsters’ knowledge about the industry. A more flexible examination arrangement of the Local Certificates of Competency, such as relaxing the pre-conditions for sitting the examinations, may also enhance the appeal of the local vessel sector.
