Maritime Occupations (Non-Statutory)

The maritime sector offers a wide range of opportunities for those who are seeking a career that is closely associated with the sea, ports, rivers and waterways. This framework will provide both intermediate level and advanced level apprenticeship routes which will enable new entrants to work safely and effectively on board a vessel or in a port and undertake a number of job roles depending on the pathway chosen. At the intermediate level, these will include assisting the deck and/ or bridge team, assisting in the engine room, hauling fishing gear and stowing the catch, loading and unloading cargo, operating port plant and equipment, helping with management of passengers and carrying out various duties on deck and in the engine room and with its associated systems.
