This kinda labour support on ships goes back decades n decades as I can recollect nationalities predominantly from the Phillipines and Indonesia during my time dealing with oil freight activities for North Sea ops - never changed and no surprise on the impact of tough immigration policies on this industry. Again the Scottish govt have got it right with the justified criticism of Home Office activities like this one on various industries up here! It is another 'power' that we should be adopting but IMO just 'push on' with our campaign for proper home rule and ultimately Scottish Independence.
