Transport 2040: Impact of Technology on Seafarers

THEME: Building Democratic Trade Unions

TITLE: Transport 2040: Impact of Technology on Seafarers

PUBLISHED BY: International Transport Workers Federation (ITF)

WHO IS THIS FOR:  This report confirms what the trade union movement has been arguing for decades: that humans are not going anywhere when it comes to the seafaring sector. Whatever technologies are deployed from among those currently available, seafarers and other maritime workers will continue to be critical. Yes, new technologies will mean shipping will require different kinds of skills among seafarers, but seafarers will still be needed, nonetheless, for the overwhelming majority of vessels. Those who work in the transport sector, especially seafarers, will find this report useful.
