What are your living conditions like?

The length of time you are sea varies entirely on the company you work for. You can be on a ferry working one week on/off, or working deep sea where trips are normally 3-4 months long. During your training you are likely to be away for longer trips to ensure you gain the right amount of sea time to qualify.

If you're at sea for months, what does the boat offer in terms of entertainment?

Is there any chance we could get work experience?
Work experience may be possible, but it depends where you are located and the companies that are nearby. It may be office work in the operation of a shipping company, but some companies will allow you on their vessel. This is something we may be able to help with if you are interested.

Good morning!
What are your living conditions like?
Living conditions are good, and the food can be variable to the nationality of the crew on board. These ships are your home for the time you are on board and so they are comfortable for you to live on.
