How difficult is it to recruit ocean-going sailors with a monthly salary of 5 thousand in Jiangsu?

On March 18, at the "20 17 Special Job Fair for Shipping Talents" held in Nanjing, 47-year-old Jurong Wang Qingfu came to the recruitment booth of Nanjing Ferry Company to try his luck, hoping to go home every day. However, he was disappointed because he was over age. The old crew members want to go ashore, but some recent graduates are hesitant to go into the water. As a major shipping province, Jiangsu is currently facing the situation of "broken files" of talents.

"You have to go through a six-month internship to enjoy a monthly salary of at least $900, but many young people can't stick to this link." The person in charge of an information service company specializing in shipping employment at the scene said that it is difficult to recruit suitable crew members with a monthly salary of five or six thousand, especially ocean transportation.

"It is generally believed that the crew's income is high. Yes, the annual salary of relatively senior positions such as captain, chief mate and chief engineer is good, basically 60- 1 10,000, but these positions are limited after all, and they require high experience and can work for many years, which reduces the promotion channels of other seafarers in disguise. " The recruitment director of Nanjing Seafarers' Home Information Service Co., Ltd. said that shipping companies need a large number of grassroots employees. Although the salaries of these employees are all five or six thousand yuan, they have no advantage compared with the same positions on land, and some are even less.

Tang Guihua, deputy director of the Shipping Trading Center of Nanjing Transportation Bureau, said that wages and salaries can't keep up with the level of social development, and high job requirements are also important reasons for the failure of grassroots shipping talents. With the "One Belt, One Road" strategy and the steady progress of the construction of the 12.5-meter deep-water waterway below Nanjing, the demand for shipping talents in Nanjing and even the whole cities along the Yangtze River will set off a new climax, not only the demand will increase, but also the talent level will be greatly improved.
