Tiivistelmä
The supply and demand of seafarers has become globalized in the maritime industry. As such, multinational crewing is widespread at sea.
This thesis is a study about the challenges of African cadets working on Finnish ships. Using a structured interview the study aims to identity the main issues encountered and narrative analysis to understand and convey the experiences of the cadets.
The second part of the study explores the experiences of an African woman on board using an intersectional perspective. The author uses the same set of interview questions to reflect on her experiences.
