Maritime Links Shore Employment Links
for Merchant Navy Officers and Seamen
Merchant navy is a profession that seamen quit at every stage, some leave as a cadet and many after serving for years at every rank up the career ladder.
Number of seamen reaching the retirement age is quite short. Majority quits sea earlier!
There is dear need of information for seamen intending to move to shore employment.
In most cases after long years of sailing mariners find themselves fed up of sea and ships and feel that they should get a shore job so as to stay with their families. They may wish to see themselves walking on the ‘land’ when they are off duty; away from rolling, pitching and vibrations onboard.
Experience onboard ships and the qualifications for merchant navy have limited demand on shore. Mariners need to educate themselves for the shore job.
We intend to provide links to shore job resources and other guidance material that may help fellow mariners in evaluating themselves for the shore employment - they may gather information to achieve a highly appreciated goal.
We are looking for useful web resources to add to
maritime links section for the benefit of merchant navy employees, the more we find the more we will add to the benefit of us all.
We expect you to share relevant links and information that you may have. You may know something that others may not even think of. Your ideas, your ‘brain-storming’ may bring solution to a shore job seeker fed up of sailing.
Your participation and interest is vital for the intended benefit to the seamen community; this initiative in your interest may not prove beneficial with out it.
We would be pleased to add your views to the appropriate section of this web site, with full acknowledgement to the source, for the guidance of others.
Your views and observations may be submitted as an article in the
Maritime Shipping Essays and Articles
Section.
If you know links to information, please
submit
for addition to the maritime links page.
You may express yourself in the
PakistaniMariner eGroup to gain opinion of others members or
email us information and we will thankfully add it to the appropriate section.
This section is dedicated to provide information that may assist and
educate mariners in their quest of career change.
