Commercial shipping is not limited to the business of transporting goods and commodities, for trade and commerce; it is a value-chain activity extending beyond “Pre-fixture, Operations and Post-fixture”, and it has the opportunity to provide gainful employment to thousands of seafarers those who are seeking “ship-to-shore transition” or upskilling.
Commercial Shipping has vast career opportunities (and seafarers seek these opportunities) yet it is a surprising fact that Commercial shipping companies are unable to find manpower with sufficient skills and experience. To understand in detail this “manpower scarcity” and “Job-Skill” mismatch situation in Commercial Shipping, ‘Sea and Beyond’ conducted a survey (https://forms.gle/g6ydiHPFEfjCeFwC8) in mid-July 2024, and the Key Insights of the survey are:
- For 89% survey participants commercial shipping is professionally aspirational
- 52% are exploring/searching an employment opportunity (last 3 months at least) in Commercial Shipping
- 67% would like to attend a rigorous course in Commercial shipping if this course provides Quality Education and assistance in placement
Considering the outcome of this survey, Sea and Beyond has organized a panel discussion. This Panel has highly experienced and esteemed professionals/faculty-members of Commercial shipping, and the idea of this panel is to help seafarers take “well-informed career decision” and the panel-members will share how the upcoming “A certificate course on Commercial Shipping by Sea and Beyond and GMU” will bridge the Job-skill gap in commercial shipping.
Agenda of the Panel Discussion:
- Overview of the Commercial Shipping
- Evolution of commercial shipping in terms of geography where the decision makers and key resources are sitting
- Commercial shipping activities in India and the support we are providing globally
- Current Challenges Commercial shipping company facing (mainly manpower deficit with matching skills)
- Challenges job-seekers (both seafarers and shore professionals) facing
- Way forward for the job-seekers and the commercial shipping industry, and career advice to persons seeking transition ashore
