Here you can see the annual figurs for the number of seafarers on board ships registered in the Danish International Register of Shipping (DIS).

The record is based on shipowners reporting the number of seafarers on board their ships on one specific day, once per year.

The records therefore differs from previous records (until and including 2016) in which the figures were computed on the basis of Danish shipowners' reporting of the number of seafarers signing on and off. Previous records were based on many manual reportings and, therefore, reservation is made as regards of

inaccuracies in the form of typing errors, incorrect reports, etc.

The record from 2017 and onwards, cannot be differentiated in respect on specific job categories, etc.​
