Industry Snapshot

What shapes a marine career

Three factors decide more about pay and progression than the job title alone.

SECTOR

Cargo vs. offshore vs. passenger

Each sector runs on different contract lengths, rotation patterns, and certification baselines.

CERTIFICATION

STCW is the floor, not the ceiling

Tanker, DP, towing and survival-craft endorsements all unlock higher-paying niches within the same rank.

PROGRESSION

Sea time compounds

Most rank advancement — deck or engine — is gated by documented sea time, not just exams.

Before You Apply

Common questions about marine work

Read the full FAQ →

Do I need experience to get a marine job?

Entry-level deck and engine ratings accept candidates with STCW Basic Training and no prior sea time; officer roles require documented experience.

What's the difference between deck and engine careers?

Deck careers focus on navigation, cargo and ship handling; engine careers focus on propulsion, machinery and technical systems.

Are there marine jobs that don't involve going to sea?

Yes — port operations, marine surveying and ship management roles are shore-based but require maritime background.
