UKCS Offshore Workforce Demographics Report 2013

UKCS OFFSHORE WORKFORCE DEMOGRAPHICS REPORT 2013

6. Residential Locations and Nationalities of the Workforce

6.1 Residential Locations The map below (figure 18) shows the UK home addresses of personnel working offshore on the UKCS. It illustrates that the majority of offshore workers, just over half, live in Scotland. Twenty-five per cent of the total workforce lives in the north east of Scotland, with significant numbers living on the east coast and along the central belt. Roughly 30 per cent of the total offshore workforce has a registered postcode in England. The key areas are the north east, north west and East Anglia. This correlates with the presence of the fabrication industry in and around Newcastle, as well as oil and gas operations at Morecambe Bay and areas close to Humberside, which is a flight base for travelling to the southern North Sea.
