Tips For Becoming A Marine Engineer

Marine engineering is a job which has been sought after very much in the last few years, and for good reason. The growth of the industry as well as continued development ad research in the field has been rubbing off on the academic study of the topic, and more and more people have been opting for it. The increase in commercial activities through the sea has impacted the field in a positive way, too, with unprecedented rise in the amount of trading and quantity of merchant navy vessels. This all has had a positive impact on this dynamic sector's job market - an impact which, according to all current observations, will only increase over time.

Some attributes are pre-requisites for all jobs as a marine engineer or in the merchant navy, while other required qualifications will vary depending on the area and profile.

Many colleges offer both post-graduate and degree courses in marine engineer. For individuals who are looking to become marine engineers, this should be the first base. Eligibility required to be admitted in one of this courses is similar around the world - senior secondary certificate.

The duration of the graduate engineering course will vary slightly from country to country. Generally, its 4 years, in which students undergo comprehensive training in practical as well as theoretical aspects of the science. Some of the practical sessions tend to be conducted in-house, and others at real sites, such as actual shipyards. Orion has a good blog here on what’s involved.

Theoretical subjects will include a variety of topics such as English - the most widely used and understood language in the merchant navy -, computer science, physics, applied mathematics, marine management and electronics. There are many other topics covered, and students should be educated regarding control systems, maritime commerce, environmental science and other topics. This training is essential for those looking to get a job in the merchant navy or become a marine engineer, since they add to the mental abilities and inculcate physical attributes as well. Physical training of students includes Gyro and Magnetic compasses, practical navigation, astronomy and electronic navigational aids such as Decca, Radar and others.

In order to improve their chance in their job or the open job market, acquiring a Masters degree in the area is recommended. While enhanced, the training is not particularly difficult, especially for graduate students of the discipline. It consists primarily of lab hours which put into practice principles of engineering which were previously studied. Creating a portfolio will help anyone who looks to climb the seniority hierarchy at the merchant navy. In any case, the individuals who achieve the most success in the field are the ones who thoroughly understood what they wanted out of the industry, and which of their traits best suited it.

With recent studies that predict a steady growth in international trading, the industry is set to progress further and further. 'Shipping' is still the cheapest and easiest method of transportation around the world - so a marine engineer's profile should remain a center of attention for young people entering the market for years to come, while still remaining a good choice for them.

5 Things You Need to Know About Yacht Surveys



If you are looking purchase a yacht, then the primary reason that you will want to carry out a survey is so that you understand the overall condition of the boat before you make a purchase.

Deciding to purchase a yacht is a big decision, and as boats can be particularly liable to damage caused by general wear and tear from sailing, as well as deterioration from the sea, salt, and the sun, it's essential that you can determine the state of the boat before committing to a purchase.

The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) strongly recommend having a survey completed before purchase. Mandy Peters, a legal advisor to the RYA quoted in an article published on the The Telegraph Online says that: "With regard to a second-hand boat, the onus is completely on the buyer to ensure that the boat he or she is buying is in a satisfactory condition, or that they are fully aware of the condition of the boat, prior to completing the sale."

However, this might be the first time you are considering purchasing a yacht and you may feel rather concerned that a comprehensive survey need to be completed before committing to a purchase.

So to help grow your understanding and awareness about yacht surveys, take a look at these five things that you might find useful to look out for when considering conducting a yacht survey.

1.Who should I hire?
This will probably be the first consideration you will think about. If you have never had to carry out a survey before, then how do you who is best to complete the survey?

One of the best pieces of advice to help ensure that you have a detailed survey completed is to do as much research as possible. Take a look at a range of companies and understand exactly what they specialize in and how they conduct the survey.

SouthEast Yacht Surveys specialise in a number of surveys, such as pre-purchase surveys, insurance surveys, valuation reports and damage surveys to name a few. Once you have determined the type of survey you require, have a look as to what the survey includes.

Once you have located a company that you are interested in, contact them and discuss their experience, and ask if they would provide you with a sample survey that they have carried out for a yacht similar to the one you are interested in, and also be sure to ask for references.

If you still feel at a loss, then try and contact other individuals who have also had a survey carried out on their boat, and ask if they have any recommendations or advice.

2. Prepare for the assessment
One of the ways you can help ensure that your yacht will be properly inspected is to do as much preparation as possible.

This is definitely a noteworthy point for the very reason that surveyors generally do not inspect specific areas that require the removal of panels using tools. Consequently, it is the responsibility of the owner's representative to ensure that any panels have been removed.

Another way to make sure that the yacht is properly and thoroughly examined is to clean the vessel as much as possible and remove any unnecessary items for the inspection. The cleaner and clearer the yacht is, the easier the inspection will be to carry out.

3. The sea trial
Yacht surveys generally include three aspects; the in-water inspection, the haul-out inspection, and the sea trial.

The sea trial is an important element of the survey when the vessel and engine are put to the test, however some of the major systems are also observed and tested during the trial.

The sea trial not only assesses the performance of the steering, controls, shafting engine mounts and exhaust systems but is also the opportunity for you to understand how the boat feels.

Conducting the sea trial on open water will give a better indication as to how well the boat performs. A good surveyor will usually recommend an open ocean trial unless the conditions are not safe enough in which you might then have to postpone the sea trial.

4. Read the report carefully and ask questions
When the survey report is eventually presented to you, it is fundamental that you go through it with a fine-tooth comb to so that you understand the final evaluation before making a decision whether to purchase or not.

Asking plenty of questions is a good thing, so if there is anything in the report that you are unsure of, or requires further clarification, then do not be afraid to contact the surveyor as they should be happy to go through it with you.

5. Consult other expertise
Even when the final evaluation is presented to you, you might still feel as though it would be a good idea to consult with other experts.

The expertise of surveyors may range rather widely, therefore having a fresh pair of eyes looking over your report, by, for example, an engine surveyor could help raise awareness for any other technical issues.


Hopefully you have found these five tips for having a yacht survey carried out useful. The decision to purchase a yacht will take time, however ensuring that you have a thorough examination of the vessel carried out will help raise awareness as to whether it the right purchase for you. Seeking the right expertise is important, therefore do not be afraid to ask for additional advice once the survey has been completed.
