Understanding the changing career landscape of modern seafarers

Seafaring has been a cornerstone of human civilisation since ancient times, with mariners navigating rivers and seas to facilitate trade and exploration. As a vital artery of global trade, the maritime industry is undergoing significant transformation, driven by advancements in technology, digitalisation, adoption of greener fuels, and evolving regulations. For aspiring seafarers and seasoned professionals alike, this changing landscape presents a wealth of opportunities that are both challenging and rewarding.
