Ship safety, security and communication

In the maritime world, safety and security are paramount. But whilst the safety record of shipping has improved, the threat from terrorism, piracy and other adverse events such as fire or medical emergency still remains.

Military backgrounds pay dividends in maritime careers. We've launched the sea going careers of more than 4,000 graduates and military personnel.
