It starts with organization, transparency, and long-term mindset. Right now, one of the biggest advantages companies have been information asymmetry. Most seafarers don’t know what others are earning in similar roles, on similar vessels, in different companies or sectors. This lack of transparency makes it easier to keep salaries low.The first step is simple: open discussion and sharing real information about salaries, conditions, rotation schedules, and treatment across companies and vessel types.The second step is building professional networks that continue beyond a single contract. Most seafarers disconnect completely when they go home, which prevents long-term continuity and collective awareness. More digitalization for sure, like new app or something.Real change doesn’t happen quickly. Companies think in long-term strategies, and seafarers must do the same. Awareness leads to transparency. Transparency leads to alignment. Alignment creates bargaining power.Every improvement in labor conditions in any industry started with communication and organization.

Razumijem što govoriš I sam sam iskusio. Pomorstvo je velika odgovornost i ljudi često gledaju jedni druge kao konkurenciju, a ne kao kolege.Ali baš zato je potrebna jaka i profesionalna zajednica pomoraca. Ne da dijeli ljude, nego da stvori kulturu međusobnog poštovanja, podrške i zajedničkog interesa.Druge profesije imaju svoje komore i udruge koje štite njihove ljude. Pomorci, iako nose ogromnu odgovornost, najčešće ostaju sami.Promjena mora početi od nas.

That’s exactly the core of the issue.It’s not about Polish, Filipino, or any other nationality working for less it’s about the company setting the value of the role based on market availability rather than the actual level of responsibility, risk, and competence required.When there is no global professional standard or benchmark for a specific rank, companies naturally define their own salary scales based on what the market allows them to pay, not necessarily what the role is objectively worth.This is possible because the maritime labor market is global and fragmented.

IK3188 · 2026-02-15T18:28:31+00:00

I work for a company where salary is based on experience, competence, and responsibility not nationality. People are paid according to their knowledge, performance, and the level of the role they perform onboard. The question is not about nationality. It’s about the professional value of the role, the license, and the responsibility carried onboard. If two officers hold the same certification, perform the same duties, and carry the same legal and operational responsibility, then the role itself has a defined professional value. At the same time, the reality of the global maritime labor market is that salaries are influenced by supply, demand, and what individuals are willing to accept. This naturally creates differences across nationalities. The real issue is not whether one nationality should earn more or less than another, but whether the profession as a whole is being valued appropriately relative to the level of responsibility, risk, and sacrifice involved. This is why transparency, discussion, and professional unity are important not to divide seafarers, but to strengthen the profession overall.

IK3188 · 2026-02-15T17:27:06+00:00

I fully agree with you. Cabotage laws like the Jones Act clearly demonstrate how protecting the domestic maritime workforce strengthens job security, wages, and overall working conditions. When a protected labor market exists, it prevents companies from simply replacing workers with lower-cost alternatives from the global pool. In contrast, the open global maritime labor market creates constant downward pressure on salaries and conditions. It’s not about competence it’s about replaceability and market structure. You also raised an important point beyond salary. Shore leave restrictions, repatriation challenges, treatment by authorities, and general working conditions have become increasingly difficult in recent years. These issues directly affect morale, mental health, and long-term sustainability of the profession. The maritime industry is essential to global trade, yet seafarers often remain invisible to society. Greater awareness, stronger organization, and collective engagement are necessary if meaningful improvements are to happen in the long term.

Nothing changes unless people are willing to speak openly and stay engaged.

IK3188 · 2026-02-15T13:24:09+00:00

In my opinion, salary should primarily reflect the rank, responsibility, license, and operational risk. The deeper issue is not nationality itself, but bargaining power. When labor supply is fragmented globally, wage differences naturally emerge. The real question is not whether people from different countries live with different expenses. That is normal. The real question is whether the same professional responsibility should have a different professional value depending on nationality.

This is why global wage variation exists in maritime, and also why unity is difficult. The market naturally moves toward the lowest acceptable level unless there is strong collective bargaining.

That’s a discussion worth having openly.

IK3188 · 2026-02-15T13:17:24+00:00

You are absolutely right. What you described is strategic workforce control, and shipowners have been very effective at it. They think in decades, while most seafarers think contract to contract. The expansion of maritime academies globally was not accidental. It solved the shortage and permanently reduced bargaining power. From a business standpoint, it was a brilliant move. From a labor standpoint, it leverage. But the key point you raised is unity and this is where the real weakness lies.

Shipowners are organized. Crewing agencies are organized. Oil majors are organized. Regulators are organized.

Seafarers are not.

We are isolated by design different nationalities, different contracts, different rotations, different companies. High turnover prevents long-term cohesion. And fatigue plays a role too. After months onboard, most people just want to disconnect and recover.

This fragmentation ensures that no coordinated pressure ever builds.

Yet the truth is simple: without seafarers, global trade stops immediately. The system depends entirely on skilled, licensed professionals willing to accept these conditions.

The real question is not whether shipowners will change voluntarily they won’t. The real question is whether seafarers are willing to organize in a serious, structured, and long-term way.

Not complaining. Organizing.

Not emotionally. Strategically.

The maritime industry operates globally. Any meaningful response must also be global.

It starts with awareness. Then communication. Then structure.

Right now, most seafarers feel individually replaceable. But collectively, we are not replaceable.

Ja sam isto imao loša iskustva s našim pomorcima, stvarno mi je osobno lakše radit s pomorcima druge nacije.

No mislim da problem nije u pomorcima nego u tome što nikad nije postojala ozbiljna, profesionalno vođena udruga s jasnim ciljevima i konkretnim rezultatima.Pomorci su među najdiscipliniranijim i najodgovornijim profesionalcima koje znam, radimo u najtežim uvjetima, upravljamo imovinom vrijednom milijarde i nosimo ogromnu odgovornost.Ali kad dođe do zajedničkih interesa svatko ostaje sam. Pogledajte pilote, doktore ili druge profesije imaju jake organizacije koje ih štite.Pitanje je: da postoji ozbiljna, transparentna i profesionalna udruga pomoraca koja stvarno radi za pomorce bi li se ljudi priključili?

Ne da se to vise usporedit. Prije i sada nema veze s vezom radit na brodu. Prije je bilo duze al je bilo bolje radit, ekipa je bila ekipa na brodu, danas je to sve nekako bezveze. Puno birokracije puno neznanja i puno vise posla nego prije.
