Résumé At first glance, the maritime transport sector is a global industry par excellence, just as the seamen employed aboard its commercial vessels constitute an ideal-type of international worker. Yet, though they work in multinational groups, sail on all of the world's seas on behalf of global clients and in accordance with international regulations, these seamen hold jobs and pursue careers that remain very much bound up with national frameworks. Evidence of this may be found in the operation of the maritime labor market, which, while indeed international in scale, is nevertheless highly segmented, with employment conditions strongly varying depending on the seamen's nationality. In work groups, this situation leads to the ethnicization of social relations and differentiated relationships to work. It is reflected in the manner in which work is distributed and space shared aboard ship in keeping with considerations in which criteria of status and ethno-racial identity intersect.
