Careers at Sea

Merchant ships’ officers belong to a select, international profession, involving people from across the globe.

They are highly skilled professionals, responsible for moving passengers and cargo safely around the world. 

There are different opportunities and the work involved is always varied. In addition to navigation or engineering skills using the latest information technology, considerable leadership and managerial skills are essential to ensure the safety and well being of the community of people living and working together at sea.
