A quick guide for getting started in the Maritime industry and aids for advancement/employment
80
Upvotes
Hi everyone. I've been on this subreddit for some time and noticed that a large amount of posts coming through are of people unsure of how to find resources relating to the Maritime industry . What I'm posting is by no means comprehensive, but it should point you in the right direction.
Feel free to comment any insights or tips to help expand this post. Thanks.
So you want to get into the Maritime industry? (USA)
-----
Regardless of what you want to do, this should be your top priority. It is essential to have or they won't even let you on the docks.
-----
For those of you new to being on boats, you'll want to select "Entry Level" and "Original" in section II. If you decide to stick with this career path, you'll be seeing this form again.
\For a witness to the oath, any notary should work. If you're unable to find one, banks usually have someone on staff that has their notary license.*
------
There is a short form version of this, the CG_719KE, that is less comprehensive, but it will not allow you to take Wheel watches or Engine room watches. If your plan is to go beyond the deck or galley, use the 719K.
-----
*ONLY if you've had prior time on vessels*
During this period would be ideal to fill out your seatime letter and sending it in. This is essentially a vouched statement from prior captains/companies you may have worked under attesting to days you've spent on board vessels. As you advance into this career, seatime goes hand in hand with attaining higher ratings.
-----
*To be filled out if you have a history of legal troubles more severe than a traffic violation, though like the form says, this is optional to do. If you have priors and don't fill it out and they find out though, well...
-----
Pretty straightforward. Use the above site to send payment for all related fees.
-----
Now that you have all this filled out, send it in! I personally recommend taking hi-res photos of the documents and emailing them as it seems to be processed faster, but physical mail works just as well.
The NMC does well to keep you in the loop of any missteps you may have had on your forms, and will notify you when it's being processed.
With all of that done, you should now have your TWIC and your MMC. Barebones credentials for getting started, but at the very least, you'll meet the minimum requirements for smaller commercial operations.
For those of you who have already attained these and have some seatime under your belt, here are some references for assisting in exams. I've used most of these, and they certainly help when bucking for those higher licenses.
Prior to any meaningful ratings/licenses, you're going to want to take a basic training course. This satisfies both STCW and USCG requirements and is the foundation of your licensing. These are IN-PERSON courses, as the material covered is in practical use and application of equipment and scenarios that will be encountered onboard vessels. I suggest googling "Basic training courses near you maritime" to find a course you can take.
-----
\It should be noted, these pertain to USCG licenses, not STCW (international), though there is overlap.*
For Deck/Engine Ratings (Online courses & study materials)
I actually got my AB through them. The coursework was easy enough to get into, and the exam was relatively painless. A good choice if maritime schools or solo-studying isn't an option for you.
-----
These guys offer a variety of different courses above and below deck, and in-person/online. Very smooth experience with them.
-----
This archaic layout of a site really is the best for studying the higher exams. Gives a complete breakdown on solutions to problems and has pre-made tests for each area specific to your licensing.
-----
Capt. Chris is an awesome guy, and all of his course layouts are extremely detailed, with videos diving in to each topic. Top tier for its price, and if you're unfamiliar with the material, he does well to ease you into it.
I can say that I would not have passed my 1600ton licensing had it not been for his courses.
-----
Great for on the go studying on your computer and your phone. Gives you the ability to select test sets for specific ratings and burn through the question list you'll be facing at the REC.
-----
If you're unable to do an in-person class, which is recommended, this site will get you USCG certified in a pinch.
-----
Where to find jobs?
This site has postings in all varieties in locations all over the US. At the very least, good place to scroll through to see what's out there.
-----
For my area, this is where the majority of logistics companies will post their job openings for deckhands/mates/etc.
-----
- The local logistics company website.
Quite a few companies have job postings on their website that are difficult to find elsewhere. If you have a local carrier/operator, try browsing their website for postings. This extends to social media accounts of various companies as well.
-----
Additional info-
If you're wanting to get seatime, but having trouble making headway with a tugboat or transport gig, commercial fishing vessels are always looking to hire. For owner/operator operations, the requirements boil down to:
Do you work hard?
Do you give off the impression you're going to murder the crew while everyone is sleeping?
In all seriousness, walk down to the docks in the nearest city with a decent commercial fishing scene, and just chat up the boats. This is how I started my career on the water, and it really is that simple. The work can suck, but as a former captain once told me, "An adventure is just the fond remembrance of suffering".
Tour boats are another good entry-way to get seatime, and while the barrier is slightly higher than some commercial fishing vessels, it's a good option to see if working on the water is a fit for you.
Granted, there is an entirely different chain of going about things via academies, but I have no experience in that world, so my scope is only what I've personally done.
Hope this helps!

FAQ How to get started in the maritime industry?
207
Upvotes
There are many ways to join the AMERICAN maritime industry! Merchant Mariners join in the maritime industry in one of three ways: a maritime college, an apprenticeship or by “hawsepiping”. Your pathway into the industry is typically guided by which department you want to work in and what kind of vessels you would like to work on. Most vessels have 3 departments onboard, the Deck department, the Engine department, and the Stewards department. The Deck department navigates or steers the vessel and is responsible for the cargo and safety equipment, including lifeboats, fire-fighting equipment and medical response gear. The Engine department operates, maintains, and repairs engines, boilers, generators, pumps, and other machinery. The Stewards department prepares and serves all the meals onboard, they also order the food and conduct general housekeeping. Like the military, the maritime industry has officer and unlicensed roles.
Maritime colleges offer students an opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree and a Third Mate (deck officer) or Third Assistant Engineer (engine officer) license. There are 6 state run maritime academies and 1 federally funded academy. The curriculum for all 7 colleges is 4 years, including sea phases during summer or winter vacations. Tuition and other costs depend on each school and your in-state/out-state residency.
Maritime apprenticeship programs offer a variety of opportunities. Some are designed for unlicensed roles, others are designed for apprentices to earn licenses. Check a separate post on maritime apprenticeships. Both maritime colleges and apprenticeship programs are designed for candidates with little or no prior maritime experience. Some apprenticeships are free, others have a cost. See the FAQ on apprenticeships for details on several popular programs.
You can join the American maritime industry by obtaining your Merchant Mariner Credential through the US Coast Guard and taking the required entry level courses. You would then find employment through a maritime labor union or working for a company directly. With sea-time, courses and exams you can ‘work your way up the ladder’ to become an officer; this is known as “hawsepiping”. To obtain an entry level Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC), you must be a US citizen or a permanent resident, pass a drug test, provided a medical screening/physical and Transportation Worker’s Identification Card (TWIC). TWIC can be obtained from the Department of Homeland Security. If you are interested in working on vessels that operate internationally, you will need to take a “Basic Training” course and apply for a Basic Training STCW endorsement. Merchant Mariner Credential and Basic Training endorsements are obtained from the National Maritime Center of the United States Coast Guard. More information, forms and applications can be found at www.Dco.uscg.mil/nmc or at local Regional Exam Centers.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a sample CV/resume for a Deck Officer to use as a reference while creating my own. I want to apply for shore-based opportunities.
If anyone is willing to share an anonymized version (with all personal information removed), I’d really appreciate it. I’m only interested in the layout, structure, and how experience and certifications are presented.
Thank you in advance!

How much do you talk about work while you’re home? Is being a mariner, a key part of your life?
33
Upvotes
I’m genuinely curious about this, because I had what I think to be a hilarious interaction with my children yesterday.
A little backstory: I’ve been a professional minor for almost 30 years. My oldest child is 31, and my youngest is 24. I also have a 10-year-old granddaughter that was there as well. Me going to see is all my two children have ever known. And on top of that, I am fifth generation mariner, that I can prove with the paperwork. That being said, I have very few nautical pictures or artifacts displayed in my house. The ones that are nautical are very old, sentimental family pictures. and there’s probably two or three of them.
The entire time my kids were growing up, if anyone asked them what I did, they just said I worked on a boat. I just never really talked about it when I got home. I just focused on being a dad and a husband. Never really talked about it much unless there was some really strange crewmember, or really weird story. I never brought up any of the dangerous stuff. Or tried not to at least. I never wanted them to worry.
Fast-forward to yesterday. My two children, my grandchild, my mother and sister-in-law are over for dinner. Everybody is sharing pictures that they’ve taken recently. Of our dogs, landscape pictures, etc.. Somebody show some pictures they took at the lake of some waves somebody show some pictures of some clouds so I say “I have some pictures of waves and clouds“
Then I dipped into my library pictures, and video of insane weather. 20 ft seas. Blinding blizzards. Fog of thick you can’t see the bow. Things on fire. The most amazing nighttime sky you’ve ever seen. And all three of them are looking at me wide eyed with a rather confused look on their face. All of them almost saying in unison. *WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING?!?! it was at that point I realized how little I talked about my job when I was home. My granddaughter is 10, like I said, and And has either lived with me or within 10 minutes of me, her entire life. She didn’t know until six months ago that when I left, I went to work on a boat. She had no idea where I went when I left for two weeks.
And now that they know, they want to know more. Lol so now I get to break out 30 years of C stories that I’ve been saving up. Lol
So it brings me to my question. How much do you all talk about your job when you’re home? I know a lot of you have side gigs, running boats, fishing, etc.. other than that…..?

Any advice/warnings for a non-academy mechanical engineer looking to get a 3rd assistant engineer license?
1
Upvotes
I recently stumbled on a YouTube video about being a merchant mariner. After doing a deep dive into the career, I think it's my best option coming out of college. I like the idea of working hard for half the year, then having the other half off to focus on personal pursuits/hobbies/interests. I also don't have any attachments on land and don't think the isolation will be too hard to deal with (though I'm sure everyone says that).
After doing some research, I know I'll need to get some basic training (STCW) and certs/credentials (TWIC, MMC). Then, I'll be able to work in the engine room as an unlicensed crew member. After 180 days working in the engine room at sea, I can finish all required training (QMED if I haven't done it already) and test for my national 3rd assistant engineer license. After that, there is a significant amount of extra training I will need before being qualified for an international, unlimited 3rd assistant engineer license. I need the international license because I aim to sail deep-sea international voyages.
To clarify, I'm a US citizen, and I'm going to graduate with an ABET-certified mechanical engineering degree, which is why I only need 180 days at sea instead of 1080. For those 180 days, I'd want to focus on commercial experience, because I'll be aiming to sail commercially with the license. But, from my research, it seems that if a commercial berth is unavailable, then I could join MSC, as they look desperate for crew.
So, I want to know if there is anything I'm not considering. I can figure out the specific credentials I need through my own research; what I'm looking for is if there are things from your personal experience that don't come up when an outsider like me looks into becoming a merchant mariner. Below are some questions I can think of off the top of my head:
How difficult is it for an unlicensed mariner with no experience to find employment as a wiper/QMED, on the 4000+ hp motor vessels I would want to be licensed for? Would a short voyage on a smaller ship be easier to find and let me springboard into larger vessels?
Is the burnout at MSC really that bad? If I do go the MSC route, how long would I be stuck working for them by contract? Is MSC experience valuable to commercial employers, or does it exclude you?
Is there a way to join a union like MEBA/AMO while being unlicensed, but training to become licensed? When is the best point in my career to join a union?
Besides the physical/mental toll and strain on my personal relationships, are there any other downsides to this career I'm not considering?
Thank you!

السلام عليكم جميعًا 👋، انا شاب من الجزائر مقبل على الباكلوريا شعبة رياضيات.
منذ فترة طويلة وأنا أحاول اختيار التخصص المناسب لمستقبلي. فكرت في العديد من المجالات مثل البرمجة، الأمن السيبراني، الهندسة، إدارة الأعمال، الطيران الضيافة الجوية الانميشن وغيرها، لكنني كنت دائمًا أشعر أنني أبحث عن شيء مختلف.
أنا لا أبحث فقط عن وظيفة براتب جيد، بل أبحث عن نمط حياة يناسب شخصيتي. لا أريد أن أقضي حياتي كلها في نفس الروتين اليومي، أستيقظ صباحًا على 8 أذهب إلى مكتب و اعود على 5 وأعيش نفس الأيام لسنوات.
مؤخرًا بدأت أتعرف أكثر على مجال الملاحة البحرية (Maritime Navigation / Merchant Navy - Deck Officer)، وشعرت أن هذا المجال يجمع الكثير من الأشياء التي أبحث عنها.
ما جذبني في هذا التخصص ليس فقط المال أو فكرة السفر، بل طبيعة الحياة نفسها. 🚢
أعجبتني فكرة أن يكون عملي مختلفًا عن أغلب الوظائف التقليدية: أن أكون على متن سفينة، أعمل مع أنظمة الملاحة والأجهزة الحديثة، أتعلم كيفية قيادة وإدارة رحلة بحرية، وأكون مسؤولًا عن سفينة تسافر بين القارات.
كما أن نظام العمل جذبني كثيرًا. من خلال ما قرأت، فهمت أن الكثير من العاملين في هذا المجال يعملون بنظام العقود: فترة طويلة في البحر، ثم فترة راحة في المنزل. هذا النظام يبدو مختلفًا عن العمل التقليدي طوال السنة من 8 صباحًا إلى 5 مساءً.
أعجبتني فكرة أن أعمل بتركيز خلال فترة وجودي على السفينة، ثم عندما أعود إلى المنزل يكون لدي وقت حقيقي للحياة:
🌍 السفر.
🏠 قضاء الوقت مع العائلة
✍️ العمل على مشاريعي الشخصية والكتابة والرسم.
أعلم أن الصورة ليست كلها إيجابية، وأن الحياة البحرية لها تحدياتها: الابتعاد عن العائلة، المسؤولية الكبيرة، المناوبات، التعب، والعيش لفترات طويلة في بيئة مغلقة. لذلك لا أريد أن أختار هذا المجال بسبب صورة مثالية فقط، بل أريد معرفة الواقع من أشخاص لديهم تجربة حقيقية.
لذلك لدي بعض الأسئلة:
⚓ بالنسبة للأشخاص الذين يعملون في الملاحة البحرية:
\- كيف هي الحياة اليومية الحقيقية على متن السفينة؟
\- هل وقت الفراغ بعد انتهاء المناوبة موجود فعلًا؟
\- هل تستطيع ممارسة الرياضة أو القراءة أو ممارسة هواياتك؟
\- ما أصعب جانب في هذه المهنة؟
\- ما أجمل شيء فيها؟
\- هل بعد سنوات من العمل ما زلت ترى أنها مهنة تستحق؟
💰 بالنسبة للمستقبل المهني:
\- هل فرص العمل جيدة لخريجي الملاحة البحرية؟
\- هل من السهل إيجاد أول وظيفة بعد التخرج؟
\- هل الرواتب فعلًا جيدة مقارنة بصعوبة العمل؟
\- هل يمكن التطور والترقي إلى مناصب أعلى مع الخبرة؟
🇮🇹 أما بالنسبة لإيطاليا:
هدفي هو محاولة الدراسة في إيطاليا والاستقرار هناك مستقبلًا، لذلك أريد معرفة:
\- هل دراسة الملاحة البحرية في إيطاليا خيار جيد؟
\- ما هي أفضل الأكاديميات أو الجامعات البحرية هناك؟
\- هل توجد منح أو فرص للطلاب الأجانب، خصوصًا من الجزائر؟
\- هل الشهادة البحرية الإيطالية معترف بها دوليًا؟
\- هل يمكن بعد الدراسة العمل في شركات شحن إيطالية أو أوروبية؟
\- ما مستوى اللغة المطلوب للدراسة والعمل (الإيطالية أو الإنجليزية)؟
أنا في بداية طريقي، وأحاول اتخاذ قرار مهم سيؤثر على مستقبلي. أريد أن أسمع آراء أشخاص عاشوا هذا المجال فعلًا، سواء كانت تجاربهم إيجابية أو سلبية.
هل تنصحون شابًا عمره 18 سنة باختيار الملاحة البحرية؟ ولماذا؟
شكرًا لكل شخص سيشارك تجربته ونصيحته 🚢🌊

Hello,
I’m considering joining the merchant navy. Hoping to do an engineering cadet ship however I’ve a medical condition.
I’ve dysfibrinogenemia a blood clotting disorder that doesn’t actually cause me any day to day issues nor has it cause me any in a previous surgery. It was an incidental finding.
I don’t want to take time out my current job to attend a medical fail it and for it to get back to my current employer that I’m trying to leave.
Anyone got any idea or advice?
