CALL, TIME OUT | SEAFARING FUTURE QUESTIONED

Sea view, limbe

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen around the world. Fellow mariners aspiring for the spark of greatness. The is more to life than what the sea can offer. After all we all where born on solid soil.

If SEA GOING is the goal and maybe due to some unexpected circumstances it fails what else can still be done with respect to the field you specialized in.? Have you every though of this before?

Maritime institutes all across the world produce hundreds of new deck cadets and marine engineers each year. Each of these recent graduates aspires to one day make it big in the maritime industry by becoming a top-notch seafarer. 

With their newfound knowledge and training, these officers join reputable maritime companies' ships, work for a few years, and try to advance their ranks. Despite very lucrative job offers, an exciting working environment, and a "globetrotting" lifestyle, the majority of these sailors prefer to leave their ship positions and take jobs ashore. This trend is gaining traction and can now be found in a number of nations throughout the world. 

As the number of seafarers leaving the profession rises year after year, we wonder what motivates people to leave such a prestigious and rewarding vocation after only a few years at sea. While some of the causes we discovered are common and obvious, there are a few that are novel and surprising. 

We enumerated the following primary issues that concern seafarers today after conducting a study that included a number of sea-going professionals who have already quit or are preparing to quit their jobs at sea. 

Please keep in mind that we are not implying that a career in the maritime business is not worthwhile. In fact, we feel that a career in merchant navy is the best career opportunity one can get.

Safety first 🗣👤🌊

 It's not the first time a seafarer or someone falls from the ship into the ocean without a safety jacket. Still, we should be where that, not all falls guarantee safe come back.  As an officer, pilot and rating. We should make it a habit to always follow safety procedures except unorthodox circumstances show up. From the picture above you can see that the seafarer recently used the gangway to come down to the ladder before exiting the ship to the other vessel whose aim was to pick him/her up no matter the reason. All safety steps taken up till that point seemed safe and professional.  As we know but refuse to admit it, "Small changes/mistakes/corrections affected big conclusive results". Still from the picture, you can see that the sea level is not the best and it will be hard to hold to one's stability; if you were to stand in a vessel with less stability than the one you were on.  Nevertheless, before his/her fall without the safety jacket. If he/she held on to th...

Connection| Potential| Ambition

Given all that was and what is to come, a common word links them all. The work connection. An ability to provide information of all shapes and kind to none common sense sigma. This ability existed long before the creation of mankind.  In the world we leave today, 3 things matter the most for a successful career. There are as follows; Connections It can be viewed in two or more ways but, I know of two only beings; YOU KNOW WHO AND WHO KNOWS. Most of us got to thank our parents, relatives or many other unknown characters that help us achieve our goals behind closes doors. Most opportunities like travelling abroad were preorganized before we even had the time to say, "Why". Knowing different people, cultures and breaking past language barriers has proven to be a source of opportunity to achieve even greater dreams over the sky . For example, a poor boy can only dream below his ceiling which is what is imaginary and real to reach but is also impossible from where they are now. Th...

Welcome Back Comrades

The reopening 🇨🇲🇬🇲🇬🇭🇱🇷🇸🇱 It is a new day, it's a new life... As of January, most marine academies around the world were given a green card of access by their respective country president which came well with a lot of rules concerning the vitality and safety of both the student and civilians involved. As for Africa as a whole, symptoms of the COVID-19 virus have been more of talk and no see. We can say the nation as a whole is doing a pretty great job. Some rumors claim that the newly installed 5G system cuz this pandemic due to the installation side effects of the radiative waves; the world as you know can't be destroyed by mere tricks but, that doesn't mean your world is. Politic is a field of pride and conning people who play a game of what-ifs. It's indeed cruel when the effects aren't in favor of the innocent; who decided that? For in a world such as this one, the strong devour the weak to gain more strength. In other words, imagine, I own a company (A...

A Moment Of Happiness

Hi ladies and Gentlemen,                                             Still in the early era of Corona virus. Covered with vast deaths and tiers from our love once. Hope for things to get better gradually failed. School of the Maritime industry are sinking monthly. Students semester fees seem to be lost money. Parent as well as individual are having a hard time managing themselves. Near to 90% of the world's population don't make money during this crisis; literally people are either living on borrowed loan, saving, charity services by other on the average wager. However, when all hope seems to be lost like a niddle in a grass field. The Maritime School seem to have found a solution to solve only their crisis for the year to come. By providing online course. Studies online secured by private channels. Although, I doubt fresh men will be given such previlage. Only students wi...
