The Department for Transport published estimates of the number of seafarers in the UK shipping industry online, at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/seafarers-in-the-uk-shipping-industry-2023.

One of the sources for this report is a seafarer employment survey run by the UK Chamber of Shipping of their membership, which P&O Ferries are part of. Due to commercial sensitivity, we cannot provide specific company breakdowns from this data. We are also unable to estimate the number of seafarers employed on P&O Ferries’ working from UK ports.
