The Maritime Industry needs qualified & competent personnel to   man and operate their vessels.
For the right person, the maritime industry has a tremendous amount to offer.  Great pay, great benefits, job satisfaction, and a substantial amount of vacation annually.      So why is it that the Workboat Industry needs mariners?  There are three major factors that are in place which are creating a demand for qualified mariners within the industry.

• Growth within the industry.  Shipyards are full throughout the world constructing Offshore Supply Vessels, Crewboats, Anchor Handling Boats, Tugboats and Barges.

• Aging Workforce.  The average age of officers working in the workboat industry is approaching sixty years old.  More and more of the baby boomers within the industry are taking pensions and leaving the industry.

• New Regulations.  New regulations set in place by the International Community and the United States Coast Guard have placed a tremendous amount of training requirements on the industry.  These new training requirements have virtually eliminated the ability of the incumbent worker to  work their way up to the position of Able Seaman, Apprentice Mate, Mate of Towing and/or Officer in Charge of the Watch.
