Dubai has been ranked among the top five global locations of choice for employment opportunity in the commercial shipping sector, ahead of other global shipping hubs like Mumbai, Shanghai and Hong Kong, according to a new survey.
The annual Maritime Employment Review for the commercial shipping market published by the UK-based global shipping industry recruiter Faststream ranks Dubai as the joint No 4, along with New York, on the list of global employment destinations of choice.
“Although we face many unknowns as we move into 2011, the one certainty is that good candidates are not walking the streets,” the survey maintains. “Demand for commercial shipping talent remains high and will continue to rise for the foreseeable future,” it says.
With a little under half (45 per cent) of respondents choosing Dubai as the destination of choice if the right job opportunity came along, the emirate ranks ahead of locations such as Monaco (41 per cent), Hong Kong (35 per cent), Oslo (30 per cent), Shanghai (28 per cent), Athens (21 per cent), and Mumbai (9 per cent).
The survey found Singapore as the most popular location to move to if the right job opportunity arose, with 60 per cent of the 85 respondents saying that they would consider moving there. This was closely followed by London (52 per cent) and Geneva (50 per cent).
New York also received 45 per cent of votes and is ranked No. 4 jointly with Dubai.
The Faststream survey polled 85 respondents including shipbrokers, chartering managers and freight traders based in Europe and Asia.
The report concludes that commercial shipping firms “are having to review their recruitment techniques and employment packages to secure the best talent. The movement of people between companies, industries and global locations will continue to have a significant impact on the success of the industry as we begin to emerge from these difficult times.”
