Abstract

Most Kenyan sailors (usually fishermen) are employed on trawlers flying Kenyan or foreign flags. There are 20 trawlers flying the Kenyan flag, 17 of which are owned by Italian companies and three by Koreans. A study carried out in 2002 by the Seafarers Assistance Programme (SAP) showed that 165 Kenyan fishermen were working on board these trawlers. Another 295 were working on Europeanflagged vessels, the majority of which were Spanish trawlers and longliners.
