What should I know before applying?

Before applying for a job in the maritime sector, it is important to consider several key aspects to ensure you are well informed and prepared for this unique and demanding industry. Here are some important points to keep in mind:

Physical and Medical Requirements:

Maritime work can be physically demanding. You must be in good physical shape and also pass a medical exam that certifies your ability to work at sea.

Certifications and Training:

Depending on the position, specific certifications may be required. For example, the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) sets international standards that many must meet. Researching what training and certifications are necessary for the position you are interested in is crucial.

Life on Board

Life on a ship is very different from life on land. Small spaces, long work hours, and being away from family and friends for long periods are common. Make sure you understand and are prepared for these aspects of maritime work.

Contracts and Working Conditions:

Find out about the duration of contracts, working conditions, schedules, vacations and benefits. Each company can vary significantly in these aspects.

Safety and Emergencies:

Safety is critical in maritime work. You must be prepared to handle emergencies and work in an environment where safety is a constant priority.

International Regulations and Laws:

Maritime work is governed by a series of international laws and regulations. Having basic knowledge of these can be very useful.

Language:

English is often the common language at sea, especially on international vessels. Having a good level of English may be a mandatory requirement when applying. In some companies they ask to speak German and/or French apart from English.

Culture and Teamwork:

You will work with people from different cultures and countries. The ability to work well in a team and adapt to diverse cultures is essential.

Impact on Personal Life:

Consider the impact this lifestyle can have on your personal life and relationships. The long duration of travel can make it difficult to maintain stable personal relationships.

Professional Growth and Development:

Investigate opportunities for professional growth and development in the maritime sector. Some find careers long and rewarding, while others may see it as a short-term experience.

Financial Aspects:

Evaluate the financial aspects of the job, such as salary, fringe benefits, and payment terms.
