 1. I have tattoo/ piercing, can I join merchant navy?

Of course you can. Merchant navy has no restrictions on tattoos and piercings. In fact sailors are the pioneers of nautical tattoo culture.

However, since the maritime academies implement high disciplinary standards and expect officer like qualities, they will be less than friendly to funky piercings and offensive tattoos.

Visible tattoos depicting offensive messages and symbols might also create troubles while traveling abroad as several countries do not encourage them.

It’s always preferred if the tattoos are not easily visible.

2. I have colour blindness, can I join merchant navy?

No, you cannot join merchant navy as an officer with colour blindness. The ability to distinguish colours is so important that both deck and engine department courses require candidates with no colour blindness.

3. How Difficult is the Pre sea Training and Exams?  (India)

Regardless of the stream chosen, pre-sea trainings and exams associated with it are no piece of cake. As it is for every other profession, good dedication and commitment is required. Upon successful completion of cadetship (including onboard training), individuals are required to pass the Certificate of Competency (COC) exams conducted by Mercantile Marine Department (MMD). This requires thorough preparations and outstanding knowledge levels in theoretical and practical sides.

4. How is the College life during pre-sea training?

College life in Maritime academies is definitely enjoyable. But if you are looking for the fun of roaming around in the cities, and late night parties then you might be disappointed. Pre-sea programs are fully residential courses with very professional training. The maritime academies implement and practice semi-military (or full) discipline and activities such as physical training, parade march, swimming, sports, boat rowing, etc. The fun and life will be limited to the college campus. It is possible to go out from college campus during certain specified days and time, however it cannot be certain and depends on the college. The degree of the discipline, rules and regulations vary according to academies.

5. Do I join as Officer after college?

No you don’t.  After academic pre – sea training, deck graduates join as Deck Cadets or Trainee Navigating Officers and Engine graduates join as Engine Cadets or Trainee Marine Engineer. Once they complete the required sea-time as a cadet they will be eligible to appear for the COC examinations conducted by MMD (in India). Upon completing the examination and receiving the Certificate of Competency, an individual is eligible to join as Deck/Engine officer onboard the ship.

6. How Hard is it to Get a job?

In the last few years shipping industry witnessed an economic gloom which resulted in the lack of demand of maritime professionals especially new-joiners. Even though Industry experts claim that this scenario will change in not more than 5 years of time, presently the lack of job opportunities for cadets is an irrefutable fact. Big shipping companies still hire cadets and sponsor their sea-time upon valid agreements. Many companies also offer completely sponsored in-house trainings. Maritime academies offer placement platforms where companies will come and select cadets.

 7. How fast will be my career growth?

Career growth largely depends upon an individual’s performance and hard work. Sometimes it also depends upon the company, as some companies encourage early promotions and some others give it sometime. Let’s say for a highly motivated individual with fair environment, it takes at least 8-10 years for a career growth from Deck/Engine Cadet to Master/Chief Engineer. New joiners should  be aware of the fact that different promotion levels requires appropriate shore based training and examinations to obtain Certificate of Competency(COC) for the required higher rank. Additionally, a routine up gradation of certain other advanced courses are also necessary.

8. What is the kind of work we do onboard the ship?

As for trainee officers/engineers (cadets) the primary responsibility is to assist respective officers and to learn the job. There will be a ‘designated training officer’ (DTO) onboard who is responsible for cadets training. As the least experienced individuals, cadets should be ready to do any work assigned to him by the DTO.

Deck cadets can expect bridge watches, cargo watches, deck jobs, mooring operations etc.

Engine cadets will be involved in E/R watches, routine maintenance of machineries along with senior engineers.

9. Can I Go out and Roam around in Ports?

Yes, you can. Seafarers will be issued ‘shore pass’ at ports, with which they can go ashore and roam around.

However, It should be clear that there is no such thing like an allotted’ free-time’ for the ship’s crew to go ashore and enjoy. Shore leaves must not be mistaken for a small vacation after a long sailing. Every individual have work and duties even in ports and they will have to make use of their rest hours after work to get a glimpse of the shore. When vessels tend to have longer port stays, it will be more convenient to find enough time to spend ashore without sacrificing rest hours.

10. What kind of entertainment is available onboard the ships?

It is a common belief that seafarers have limited access to the world and lead boring lives onboard. Although facilities can vary from ship to ship, most of the cargo ships have facilities like home theatre with a DVD library, a gymnasium, books and magazine library, swimming pool, video games, indoor games like table tennis, football.

Barbecue parties are another common recreation onboard.

Nowadays, most of the companies provide Internet access onboard helping better communication and active social media participation for sailors. However, their access is very restricted.

These are some of the main questions asked by young, aspiring maritime professionals.

Note – Pre-sea training, exams and career growths are explained as applicable to India.

Maritime training and examinations might be different in other countries.

  9. hi
    can a mechanical engineer with three years shipbuilding expeiance go as a merchant navy

  10. I must say, some of this information is very misleading. The eyesight requirements in the UK for the deck department is to have 6/6 vision only in ONE eye which can be met using visual aids. If you have glasses, your unaided vision should be 6/60 in both eyes minimum, and 6/6 in one eye aided, and 6/12 in the other eye aided. Please make this information clear, so as not to disappoint potential deck candidates.

  11. @Oliver :

    Thank you for the information.
    However, please note that nowhere in the above article we state that candidates cannot join deck stream without having 6/6 vision. The only factor we have mentioned is that, colour blind candidates will be disqualified from the same. I am quite sure that even in UK for deck department, colour blindness is a disqualification. I hope this is a clear and not misleading.

  12. You CAN join the merchant navy with a colour deficiency as an Engineer. I was accepted as a cadet through Maersk with colour blindness. The only difference is we have a restricted medical with the qualifier that we are not to work unsupervised on colour coded pipework and cabling, and all work done must be checked and verified. Colour blindness has never caused me a problem during my sea time as a Cadet, and all Chief and Second engineers accepted the restriction without a problem.

  38. hello sir,my question is,why the person cant join engine department or ccmc department who is suffering from colour blindness,this deases only cause problems in deck deparment becoz of distinguesd of lights,but why we cant join engine department,there is no light signal is in engine room.thank you sir,I waiting for your answer…

  39. Even in engine room, their are colour codings for various lines, machinery and fluid identifications. However, a person with color blindness can apply for engine room job and the acceptance will depend on the severity of the problem. As per ILO medical standards for the seafarers, the engine room crew medical requirement will be assessed on CV1, CV 2 and CV3 colour vision standard. For any further query, please pst your question in our forums-https://forums.marineinsight.com

  40. So very interesting information contained in the article, and of course it is general. Couple of points though, there most definitely is a restriction on piercings, watches, rings and bracelets. Regardless of any religious aspect they are banned at all times on many ships, and completely banned offshore! Engineers have never been allowed rings in the engine room, but more and more all metal objects are prohibited. This is a hand injury issue. Not new as I went to sea in 1970, and engineers had to remove rings and bracelets then. Metal watch straps arcLso now be g restricted.
    I have never been on a merchant ship that has Internet available to the crew! Offshore very restricted!
    A great career for anyone Venturing out in to it!, and I sincerely wish all the best of luck!
