1) There are no women employed on board, apart from very few exemptions; 2) Total FTE is nr. of crew per vessel * nr. of vessels. Normally there are no PT fishermen. An unknown nr. of people works ashore, e.g. father of the skipper-owner who promotes his interest against yards, banks etc- women who keep the ac-counts. Assuming one person/firm results in 350 persons PT working ashore for the cutter fishery.
