Take the plunge
Have you any idea how varied and interesting the maritime sector is, or the role it plays in our everyday lives? Over 100 organisations have started a campaign called Sea Vision UK (you can read more about it at the back of the magazine) to promote all things maritime and associated careers. This magazine has been produced by many of those organisations to show you just what’s out there.
Look at this list:
> water sports instructors
> naval architects
> ship’s captains
> hydrographers
> offshore divers
> lawyers
> shipbrokers
> chefs and entertainers
These are just some of the job opportunities waiting for you in the maritime sector.
Think about these
Jet skis, racing yachts and power boats, oil tankers, containerships and cruise liners, marine biology, mineral exploration and oceanography, ship design, boat building and port management. They depict images full of life and variety – and it’s all open to you.
In the UK, we live on an island and marine-related activities are vital to our economy. With increasing world trade and growing maritime leisure interests, the range of supporting maritime activities is continually increasing.
Here you can find out about the different parts of the maritime sector – there’s something for everyone!
