Ships that carry goods, people or render services of a non military nature constitute the merchant navy. Merchant navy touches everyone’s life in one way of the other. Material for building houses, the fuel used in your vehicles, clothes, medicines, and anything that requires to be transported has been sent at one time or another on board a ship.
Before commencing training the cadets needs to decide the department in which they would like to start their career. One option is the “Deck Department” where one can become a deck officer, with the intention of rising through the ranks to be Master/Captain of the ship. Then the actual work involves navigating the ship, planning the ships routes, and performing of the cargo operations. Cargo operations vary depending on the type of ship and company. As the name suggests navigating officer is responsible for the navigation, loading and maintenance of the ship. The cadet first joins as a deck cadet and at the peak of his career becomes a caption/navigating officer of the ship
In order to post replies to the question: "I want to join Merchant Navy and have heard that Navigating Officer in Merchant Navy is a very good career option, can you give me more details?"
