START YOUR MARITIME CAREER
Your choice of cadetship
All future cadets need to choose what route is right for them, below is a brief outline of the 3 disciplines:
Deck Cadet
Deck officers work primarily on the bridge of the ship to ensure the safe navigation of the vessel. In port, deck officers ensure the safe loading and unloading of the vessel. As a deck cadet, you will learn how to maintain the vessel, look after and inspect the life-saving and firefighting equipment, as well as navigation. Deck officers can progress through the ranks to Master.
Engine Cadet
Engine officers work primarily below deck to ensure the safe and efficient running of the vessel’s engines and machinery. On a daily basis, engineers will be involved in the preventative and proactive maintenance of machinery, such as engines, generators, and fuel, water and ventilation systems. Engine officers can progress through the ranks to Chief Engineer.
Electro-technical Officer Cadet
Electro-technical officers (ETOs) specialise in marine electronics. With advancing technologies, onboard electronics are becoming increasingly more complex and require highly skilled individuals to look after them. ETOs maintain and repair any equipment with an electrical element: from the computers monitoring the engine room to the radars and communication equipment on the bridge. ETOs can progress to Senior ETOs.
