Good long term prospects

There is a need for more qualified ships' officers to meet the skills required by international shipping companies. 

Industry predictions suggest that this requirement will increase in the next few years, especially if the world economy (and population) continues to expand as expected, and the quantity of goods moved by sea continues to increase.

Many senior personnel are shortly due to retire so there are excellent prospects of fast advancement for keen personnel.
  
Career opportunities extend to shore-based management jobs, requiring people with seagoing experience. so a career at sea may not mean a lifetime at sea.
