Joining
Merchant Navy - GME (Graduate Marine Engineering) course eligibility, scope,
jobs and salary
Shipping
is the backbone of international trade, carrying over 90% by volume and 80% by
value of the world trade. Without shipping, the import and export of goods on
the scale necessary for the modern world would not be possible. There are over
50,000 merchant ships trading internationally, transporting most kinds of
cargo. India is a large manpower supplier to the international shipping
industry especially in the officers segment and is reputed for providing highly
qualified and well trained personnel to work on foreign owned merchant ships.
Expert
opinion and statistical forecast suggests that Indian Officers will continue to
be in demand in the foreseeable future. Merchant Navy is a rewarding career,
both financially and professionally. The nature of a job at sea presents
unmatched demands and challenges, providing a fulfilling career choice. Self
reliance and resourcefulness will become a part of your personality. You will
be required to employ both your theoretical knowledge and practical skills to
meet the challenges of the sea. Life at sea can be tough. The work is strenuous
and physically demanding. The benefits however, include a satisfaction as an officer,
working on a globalized platform, of being a world traveler, a very handsome
salary and a sense of belongingness to one of the finest global professions and
truly international perspective.
How to become a
Marine Engineer after doing Mechanical Engineering?
If
you are a Mechanical Engineer and wish to get a job in the Merchant Navy, then
you can do so by becoming a marine engineer using your mechanical engineering
degree.
Mechanical and Marine
engineering courses have several subjects in common and this makes
it easier for a mechanical engineer to get an additional degree in marine and
open new doors of opportunities.
Moreover, with the present shortage of maritime
professionals in the shipping industry and lack of quality mechanical
engineering jobs in the market, taking up marine engineering is an ideal choice
for those already having a degree in mechanical engineering.
How to Become a
Marine Engineer?
The best part of pursuing a marine engineering degree
after mechanical engineering is that you don’t have to go through the four
years of rigorous engineering training, which a marine
engineer (Graduate Marine Engineering GME)
has to go through. All you need is a one year specialized course.
A one year Graduate Marine Engineering (GME) course
after mechanical engineering would give students the license to enter merchant
navy. This one year GME course is all you need to become a marine engineer
after doing mechanical engineering.
GME
means Graduate Marine Engineering & a candidate who completes GME is known
as a graduate marine engineer.
In
simple terms this course is the minimum requirement for a candidate completing
B.E (Mechanical) to join as an Engineering officer in the Merchant Navy. After
the completion of this course the candidate will be sent for on-board training
as a Fifth Engineer.
ME
is a One year residential course which imparts practical knowledge and strict
discipline to the trainee. This course basically deals with understanding,
familiarizing and overhauling of the machinery found on-board a ship.
As
mentioned above, This is a 1 year pre-sea training course. It focuses on
Technical aspects related to Marine Engineering, such as-
- Marine
Electrical and Electronics Systems
- Marine
Machinery
- Marine
Engineering Drawing
- Marine
Safety Engineering
- Naval
Architecture
- Communication
Skills
- Hydraulics
On
successfully completion of this course the candidate will be given a Indian CDC
and also will be exempted from writing the Part-A of Class four
examination.
The
candidate will be then called by his Sponsoring Company and will be given the post of a Fifth engineer
on-board, students will have to go through 6 months of compulsory sea
service. After this stint and clearing safety courses, other training
modules and tests, clearing MEO Class-4 Part B Examination, a cadet will be
provided with Marine Engineering Officer Class 4 Certificate of Competency.
After
obtaining this certificate, one may start working as a Marine Engineer on
Merchant Navy ships in any part of the World! 12 months of sea service later,
one may again appear for training modules and appear for MEO Class 2- Part B
Examination.
The
point is that while in service, one may choose to appear for further training
modules, courses and appear for exams. These exams will help one attain
advanced competency certificates, like- Marine Engineering Class 2 Certificate
of Competency and Marine Engineer Class 1 Certificate of Competency. In short,
one may rise through the ranks and eventually become Chief Engineering Officer,
gradually.
