Salaries rise in growing offshore market

摘要

Salaries are on the rise in the growing offshore energy sector, putting wage pressure on other industry segments such as classification societies and port state administrations, employment consultant Spinnaker Consulting says. "With demand for personnel continuing to grow in the offshore sector, the wage gap has widened with other parts of the indus- try, who may in some cases only be able to offer salaries that are fixed by government employers," says Spinnaker Chairman Phil Parry. "We are seeing far greater demand for specialists in offshore roles and, rather like the demand surge in the bulk markets in the middle of the last decade, it is beginning to suck staff from other types of employer."
