Maersk Confirms ‘Significant Reduction’ in Cadet Recruiting from UK, South Africa

A.P. Moller – Maersk has confirmed changes to its long-term crew strategy which will result in the significant reduction of cadets recruited from South Africa and the UK, a spokesperson for Maersk

As part of Maersk Line’s long-term crew strategy, we have decided to adjust the sourcing areas for our International Cadet intake.

This will result in a significant reduction of cadets that we recruit from countries such as South Africa and the UK,” Maersk said in an emailed statement.

All Cadets will be given the opportunity to complete their contractual training period to qualify as an officer of the Watch, enabling them to meet international employment terms, the statement added.
