Non Mechanical Courses

Were you aware that....
Sea cargo transportation takes 99% of the world cargo market and leaves about 1% only (by weight) for the air transportation industry. The recent boom in the global economy has driven the sea freight market high and
the order books of most of the world's ship yards are full through the next 5 years.

There are 70,000 ships plying across the oceans, and numbers are expected to increase very fast. Each ship requires a Captain and three navigating officers. With the growing demand for new ships, there is expected to be a shortage of officers globally. The shortage of technical officers is more acute. This course gives you an opportunity to convert to
marine engineers as engineer officers of the watch.
