General
1/3rd of the Earth is covered in water and the nations of the world depend upon ships crews' ability to move cargo and
people safely and efficiently across the seas. The oceans provide 99% of the living space on the planet and cover vast natural
resources, the exploitation of which will support the continued development of our planet.
Shipping provides a huge
and essential contribution to the world economy with around 50,000 merchant ships trading internationally and manned by over
a million seafarers of virtually every nationality.
There are many exciting opportunities for individuals to spend
from a few years at sea to those looking for a life-long career in the Merchant Navy. A career in the shipping industry will
provide seafarers with the opportunity to gain considerable responsibility and experience in a stimulating and varied working
environment. Extensive rewards include considerable travel opportunities, a great variety of options to develop your career,
and a good career structure. Modern ships provide the opportunity for learning how to use state-of-the-art highly sophisticated
technology, and all training qualifications are recognised throughout the world.
