Trump's LNG Export Plan Faces Seafarer Shortage
Update: 2025-11-27
Description
Former President Donald Trumps ambitious plan to double U.S. LNG exports faces a significant challenge: a shortage of qualified seafarers. The shipping industry is grappling with a recruitment crisis, as young people in traditional seafaring nations opt for land jobs. LNG is a dangerous cargo, requiring extensive qualifications and training, making it difficult to staff the vast new fleet of LNG carriers needed to meet Trumps export targets. Companies must prioritize training and offer long-term career prospects to ensure these ships can be adequately staffed and operated safely.
