Abstract: Skilled and experienced crews are essential to the successful operation of today’s technologically advanced vessels. The growing shortage of qualified seafarers of today has a dramatic impact for worldwide maritime transport. In order to prevent the disadvantages of seafarers’ shortage for economy, a maritime country from Europe, Norway, has a complex approach for identifying best initiatives to attract young people to a seafarer career. This paper presents the reasons for why seafaring is not an attractive career anymore, the public initiatives of the Norwegian government for motivation to join the maritime sector and the private initiatives of Norwegian companies and foundations for solving the shortage problem.
