Salary defaults reflect 2026 Mediterranean fleet ranges from published industry surveys (Dockwalk, YPI Crew, Bluewater). Actual compensation varies with experience, certifications, flag state, season, and negotiation. Social contribution rates vary by nationality and flag state. Adjust all defaults to match your fleet’s actual payroll before budgeting.
