and thoseworking for contractors.

smaller year-on-year increase than from 2011 to 2012, which saw a 4.8 per cent rise, it is nevertheless
a positive trend. A total of 48,921 personnel worked for contractors in 2013, which represents almost
80 per cent of the total offshoreworkforce, and an increase of almost 10 per cent from2012 and 15.6 per cent
from2006.
