A recent study by Drewry estimates the current officer supply to be 610,000, representing a shortfall of 19,000 personnel. This shortfall is forecast to rise to 21,700 by 2018 given that there will be a requirement for an additional 38,500 officers by this time. This highglights the shortgae of seafarers and confirms the need for recruitment and training well into the future to meet international needs. This demand for seafarers means that those who graduate from the NMCI are in demand amongst the Industry. As there is a placement element amongst these courses we have partnered with key industry leaders to give our students seagoing time. A number of our industry partners will also be present on October 22nd to discuss employment opportunities with students.

If you believe a Maritime Career is for you then why not visit us here at the NMCI on October 22nd. Take the journey with the NMCI.
