answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/01/2015 answer text <p>A company or group which elects for the Tonnage Tax is required, each year, to recruit one new officer trainee for every fifteen officer posts in its fleet. The Department also provides support for seafarer training through the Support for Maritime Training (SMarT) scheme, the budget for which was increased by 25% to £15million in September 2013.</p><p> </p><p>Recruitment into the Merchant Navy is, however, principally a matter for the industry itself. The industry and the Government are working hand in hand to encourage and support the next generation of seafarers and are developing a range of apprenticeships for maritime occupations at sea and ashore. We support the work of the Merchant Navy Training Board and SeaVision in promoting maritime careers, and have recently collaborated with Maritime UK in the publication of &quot;Open for Maritime Skills&quot;.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 06/01/2015 13:16:28 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
