Careers as sea in the Merchant Navy

Summary

The purpose of this Career Section is to give visitors to the WA website an insight into the career possibilities in the maritime industry. The opportunities in the maritime sector are not well understood and this website gives students and practitioners alike a taste of what is possible and provides simple direction as to how they can find out more on career opportunities.

It will not necessarily provide solutions to specific problems or aspirations but the intention is that it will offer useful direction for those who wish to research further.

The Section is divided into three basic elements and only deals with the opportunities arising in the UK. In time it is hoped that a wider international perspective can be developed to incorporate opportunities in other countries.
