ABSTRACT
Participants were generally older in the phase one sample. This may again be partially accounted for by the relative youth of the fast ferry crew, and also the relative youth of those working on ferries compared to those working on the offshore oil support ships studied in phase one (see Table 1)
There were more mixed nationality crews in phase 2, with only 63.8% (n=113) of crews being from the British Isles, in comparison to 91.2% (n=134) in phase 1. Other nationalities in phase 2 included Spanish (20.3%, n=36), Polish (13.0%, n=23), and Canadian (2.8%, n=5).
