2022 – That’s a wrap!
As we come to the end of 2022, we would like to thank all of our clients for their support over the last 12 months. What a topsy-turvy year it’s been – Ukraine, high inflation, a looming global recession, dry bulk down, containers down, tankers up, gas up …and a continuing shortfall of skilled labour the world over. For Spinnaker, this has meant an extremely busy year – our consultants have made 20% more shore-based placements than in 2021 across all the major global shipping hubs.
Our Maritime HR Association Rewards team have recently published Spinnaker’s 16th annual salary survey based on data from a record 41,000 maritime professionals, working across 95 countries. This data is invaluable for HR reward teams looking at their organisation’s pay and bonuses for 2023.

After a 2-year hiatus we also hosted our 14th annual Maritime People and Culture conference in London in May, and in September our annual OSCAR Dragon Boat Race raised an amazing £220,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.
