Programme Highlights:
Have you thought of choosing merchant navy as your profession? The main transport mode for global trade is ocean shipping. Around 70% of traded goods in value are carried over the waves.

Being an engineer on seagoing ships may give you a completely different exposure to the world, extensive practical hands-on experience on machinery with know-how, work in multicultural environment with international crew, straightforward career path, etc.

However, job opportunity in the maritime sector is wider than just seagoing career, marine engineers are also needed in many shore facilities and organisation, such as ship management companies, classification societies, consultancy firms, engines and machinery suppliers/ servicing stations, shipyards and government organisation.
