Do we have a problem?
After a brief hiccup around 2008/2009 the market demand for new ROVs
has been strong and this has led to a high demand for personnel
There is natural wastage as key personnel progress to offshore/onshore
management roles
Salary competition by itself will not fill demand!
IMCA estimate a shortfall of 2000-3000 ROV persons over next 3-5 years
