    The specification officers and ratings were only surveyed for years 2001-2002 as available, with no comparable figures for previous years. The anchor dates differ between countries.

    * Greece figures census 2000.
    ** UK surveys are not on a comparable basis. Studies indicate for late 2000 estimated 21 600 UK National seafarers (including 1100 cadets) serving worldwide.
