Lyrical Analysis of...
Why seafarers are leaving sea
- Why Good Seafarers Are Leaving And We Are All to Blame
- They didn’t leave because they couldn’t handle the sea.
- They left because the system made them feel disposable.
- Because their hours of rest were fiction.
- Because safety drills were rushed.
- Because they hadn’t slept in 30 hours but still had to explain themselves to someone behind a desk.
- They left because loyalty was repaid with inspections, not protection.
- With reports not recognition.
- With pressure never support.
- We lost good captains.
- We lost chief engineers professionals who could feel a vibration shift before the sensor did.
- We lost second mates who stood 6 hour duties for years without a single complaint. Engineers fighting with no spares but still delivers quality! Restless ratings...
- And do you know why?
- Because we built a system where human resilience is expected but never respected.
- Where auditors write “non conformity” instead of asking why the man collapsed.
- Where budget cuts override critical maintenance.
- Where silence is professionalism and exhaustion is just “part of the job.” Take it or leave it, they say.
- So yes, we left.
- But worst of all?
- You can do a thousand things right in this industry.
- You can carry a fleet on your back. Sail through hell and ice. Lead crews in chaos.
- But one bad moment.
- One decision made under impossible pressure and that’s all they’ll remember.
- That becomes your legacy.
- This article is not a theory.
- It came like a blade to the throat.
- Today I spoke with a friend a captain who gave everything.
- 43 years old. Ten full commands since 2016.
- Super tankers. Dual fuel. Vetting nightmares.
- Ten command rotations. Ten brutal vessels.
- SIRE flawless records. Drydock miracles. Safety culture like no other.
- Young, solid, with knowledge in excess.
- And yet… one misstep.
- One incident that didn’t even cost the company a cent. Not even worth to mention!
- However, that one moment erased all the rest.
- They locked the door.
- They put him on ice as we say. And he was out.
- That’s the system.
- Who actually lost?
- I’ll leave the answer to all of us...
- So next time someone asks,
- “Why can’t we find good seafarers anymore?”
- Look around.
- Look up.
- Look inward.
