8 Engineers overall crew share is lower when calculated across all vessels because they are only employed on the larger vessels often for a smaller crew-share (large crews to divide crew-share between). When translated into monthly wage however, engineers take a higher wage than deckhands as demonstrated in Table 7. This is also the case for skippers, as the smaller (single handed) vessels influence the mean monthly earnings of skippers when calculated by all vessels. Sector calculations are a more accurate reflection for all positions.
