MERCHANT NAVY CAREER & MERCHANT NAVY ENTRANCE EXAM - 2018-2019
AN international trade, shipping offers fascinating career as seafarers (those who earn their living by service at sea). The profession is widely described as challenging, adventurous and highly paid.
About 90 per cent of the global goods transportation takes place through sea routes by purpose-built merchant vessels.
“The
total number of ships across the world is about 50,500. India has got a total
of 35,000 officers and 110,000 seafarers while the world shipping needs around
466,000 officers and 721,000 seafarers. At the start of the year, there was a
shortage of around 10,000 officers globally. India accounts for around 5 per
cent of world manning,” says an expert in an industry magazine’s recent issue.
Diverse Opportunities
In modern day shipping, the sector involves ocean management, ports, logistics, shipbuilding, supply chain management, personnel recruitment and ship-management.
Job
profiles: There are basically three streams
of employment On board a ship – deck officers, engineers and ratings. Deck
officers have the responsibility of navigation, safe and efficient movement of
the ship and cargo.
Engineers are primarily needed to look after the engine, which in case of a ship is not only gigantic but also complicated. Ratings are such staff on board a ship who offer physical help in carrying out various functions. Typically, each of these three departments has well organized hierarchy. Deck officers are headed by the Master, also called Captain.

Deck officers are headed by the Master, also called Captain.
Similarly, the engine department is
headed by the Chief Engineer and the ratings are headed by a Boatswain. A
Master or a Chief Engineer is assisted by many junior colleagues, who have the
same basic qualification but not the same sea-experience and certificates of
competency as the Master or a Chief Engineer. And in order to gain the
sea-experience and different competency certificates, they need to not only
find and continue with the sea job but also take the post-sea competency
examinations from time to time to facilitate their promotions.
The demand-supply mismatch in the manning sector has led to faster promotions and a fresh graduate in nautical science or marine engineering can expect to rise to the top-most level in the official hierarchy in about six years.
The day at sea is divided into six four-hour periods. Three group of watch standers are on duty for four hours and then off for eight hours. Seamen often work overtime during their off time.
