Recruitment
The crisis weighing on the economy, especially the maritime economy, has resulted in maritime employment falling
in France (cf. our preface). However, all sectors of this maritime economy are not affected to the same degree.
In the merchant navy, for example, there is currently a significant shortage of qualified officers to meet its needs. A
recent study showed that world requirements stood at 420,000 officers, against an existing number of 404,000. Applied
to France, this shortage would be in the order of 600 officers.
In 2008, the French Navy recruited 3,377 people, officers, petty officers and sailors. Forecasts for 2009 are for 3,576.
Several organisation provide services to fill these recruitment needs:
