Germany leads the European ranking for employees in service activities incidental to water transportation, with notable year-on-year growth. The United Kingdom and Spain follow closely, maintaining stable positions. Greece shows a positive trend, reflecting its strategic maritime strength. Declining sectors are visible in France and Romania, while Eastern Europe, particularly Lithuania, faces challenges with a downward trend. Key growth highlights include significant increases for Bosnia and Herzegovina, albeit from a smaller base, and Hungary.
Future trends to monitor include the impact of digital transformation on workforce demands, potential regulatory changes post-Brexit affecting the UK, and evolving environmental standards in shipping that may influence employment patterns in coastal nations.
