Abstract: This paper presents the results of an econometric analysis of the duration of voyages undertaken by NUMAST deck and engineer officers in 1998--1999. Earlier papers examined the employment profile of the officers, and compared voyage patterns across organization type, company nationality, flag of registry, and ship type. Analysis of the various cross-tabulations of employment duration appeared to show that the key driver is ship type. Using regression analysis, it is shown that ship type does indeed have a significant influence on duration, as does ship size. Flag, organizational type and company type were all found to be statistically unimportant.
