The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) ran the Access to Seafaring Careers Survey from September 2024. Please note that the survey is now closed and no new responses are being accepted.
The feedback and results of the survey that were completed by over a 1000 seafarers will be assessed and analysed to determine how to influence regulations that affect seafarers’ unemployment, welfare and gender representation.
The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) thanks all seafarers who took the time to complete the survey and share their views. Results of the survey will be shared in due course.
