279 technical crew have contributed; 162 chief engineers, 60 second engineers, 16 third engineers and 25 ETO/AVIT. Overall, many more engineers reported being on rotation than captains. We see that 72% of Chief Engineers, 57% of Second Engineers and 56% of Third Engineers are rotational, along with 88% of ETO/AVIT Engineers. For chief engineers we note that beyond the 66 – 80m segment, there is no
data for permanent salaries. This reflects the engineering recruitment market where in fact, from +65m upwards, the market is rotation only, apart from a few exceptions. The same goes for Second Engineers and ETOs where permanent contracts on +65m yachts are for build contracts only. It is our experience that the market is rotation-only for Engineers on operational yachts over 65m.
