Ideal job prospects in the maritime industry
Employees have always been an important asset of every company, and the maritime industry is no exception. The crew is an important member of every ship. Whether engaged in ocean-going or local shipping, there is a clear promotion ladder.
Each crew member can be promoted to a higher position after he is qualified for the corresponding level of deck or engine.
If you accumulate certain and relevant sailing experience, you can also transfer to shore to engage in management work or join the professional maritime service industry, and continue to shine in the industry and pass on your salary.
