For several years we do those statistics with crewmembers working on board we are collecting information and we are able to compare previous years. Important is that winner is always Human Factor and good salaries. A lot of companies is spending money for trainings, trainers, risk management, sometimes is enough to pay more to crewmembers and to be really human. What's really goal with your employees.

A lot of agents grows on the market offering jobs on board as mushrooms after rain. With good marketing and stolen Know-How it's not problem to sale product. Important is that you taste it once and you are not interesting anymore. People later on put “agents” to one sack. What's destroying great job and name of “good once”.
