Ansøgere til skibsføreruddannelser falder

Antallet, der søger ind på skibsføreruddannelserne i Danmark, falder drastisk. Nye tal fra SIMAC, Skagen Skipperskole og Marstal Navigationsskole viser, at antallet af studerende, der starter på skibsfører- og juniorofficersuddannelsen er faldet med 21 procent fra 2016 til 2017.

I 2016 var der 216 unge, der tjekkede ind på skibsføreruddannelsen og juniorofficersuddannelsen. Det tal er i 2017 faldet til blot 170. Det er et fald på 21 procent. Det viser helt friske tal direkte fra SIMAC, Skagen Skipperskole og Marstal Navigationsskole.

Ses tallene over en lidt længere årrække ser det endnu værre ud. Fra 2014 til 2017 er faldet på hele 38 procent. I 2014var antallet af nye studerende på 278, mens antallet i 2017 var faldet til kun 170.

Tallene skal ses i lyset af, at Skagen Skipperskole for to år siden oprettede en skibsføreruddannelse. I år har Skagen-skolen 30 i skibsførerklassen. Skolen oplyser, at der er tale om et “geografisk efterslæb” af sætteskippere, der bor i området, og man forventer, at antallet falder i de kommende år.

På SIMAC gør man opmærksom på, at en del studerende på den duale uddannelse typisk vælger en single uddannelse efter første praktikperiode. Det har historisk været til fordel for maskinmesteruddannelsen.
