25 years of experience, P&I Club certificates, yellow fever vaccination, special offers for seafarers from other countries: transfer service, accommodation search, discounts on certificates in partner training centers, employment assistance through Georgian crewing companies.

Maritime Training Centers in Europe – Part 3: Germany and the Netherlands

In this material, we will focus on where to obtain or renew maritime certificates in Germany and the Netherlands, and we will also look at which training centers for seafarers prepare specialists to work on smart ships and with artificial intelligence technologies.


What Influences the Forming of a Seafarer’s Salary in the World and Should we Expect its Increase in 2025?

As a rule, people who choose to work at sea either are head over heels in love with romance of travelling, or are dreaming about big money. Those in the second category clearly know where they are working and why, what prospects are open to them. However, there are some factors that do not always depend on a specific sailor.

Distance From Family. Is it Possible to Make up for Lost Events? How to Mitigate the Effect of Absence?

Working away from home inevitably impinges on both the one who works - a seafarer, and his family members. The seafarer missed the whole “series” of family events and it is impossible to make up for them post factum.





China Begins Construction of 2,000 M-Long Deep-Sea Habitable Laboratory

The facility which scientists call a "deep-sea space station" is designed to study rare "cold current" ecosystems - areas of the seafloor where chemicals like methane and sulfides are released - and will house six scientists for up to a month, the South China Morning Post reported.
 
The monitoring will involve a network of autonomous underwater vehicles, surface vessels and seafloor observatories. The scientists also plan to study methane hydrate deposits, known as “flammable ice,” as well as deposits of rare metals such as cobalt and nickel, which are found in concentrations three times higher than on land.
 
The development of this deep-sea laboratory includes advanced engineering solutions, including the manufacture of large components from titanium alloy that can withstand high pressure and watertight hatches capable of receiving underwater vehicles at depths of 2,000 m.
 

While the Chinese center is focused on research the technology could also be used for deep-sea mining, oil and gas exploration and maritime security, particularly in the South China Sea, according to the reports.

 
The creation of a deep-sea research station under the South China Sea is one of the Most complex engineering structures in the world.
 
It is an important step in the study of the ocean and its resources.
