How this is counted
Source: postings shown on the platform over the last 90 days, dated by the last time each was seen; external postings are included and shown with their source.
Only monthly rates are counted: 28,374 postings out of 37,174. Day rates (685) and postings whose period stayed unknown (7,186) are left out.
In 12,764 of the counted postings the source did not state the period and the platform set it to monthly from the size of the rate: no day rate on this market runs that high. The threshold depends on the currency, for the US dollar it is $1,000 per month.
Amounts are converted to US dollars at the rate current when the posting was collected: the platform keeps no history of daily rates.
The figures are a median and the 25th and 75th percentiles, not an average: a single inflated posting moves an average and barely moves a median.
Groups below 20 vacancies are not published, and a vessel-type row starts at 10. Rates outside $200 and $40,000 per month are treated as source errors and left out.
Vacancies with negotiable pay are left out of the count: 2,276 of them in the window.
