| 摘要： | Pam Glass' Inland Insider article in WorkBoat's January 2023 issue ("Low water, worker shortage plague inland waterways") could have been written 30 years ago and titled "Offshore Insider." Over 30 years ago, I left the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office for an opportunity to head a subcontracting labor company that I had hoped would offer temporary relief to ongoing labor shortages. Since then, I've seen labor costs explode as temporary labor shortages became the normal state of affairs for the shipbuilding industry. My hat's off to American Commercial Barge Line CEO Mike Ellis for recognizing how his business has been affected by reduced training programs. Now that the average age of a maritime welder is 55, most of our skilled workers are getting ready to trade their welding rods and shields for fishing rods and reels. The forecast that the industry will require 50,000 new workers every year for the next decade guarantees a chronically tight labor pool. |
