Careers at sea and on shore, a growing sector with a thriving future, choose to BE PART OF IT
A well-paid career – average maritime pay is £38,000, compared to the national average of £29,000.
A variety of entry points – there is no one way to enter the maritime sector and once in, there are tremendous opportunities to move to different parts.
Key messages for young people

A green revolution – the industry is going through a period of massive change, and has committed to tackling climate change by decarbonising by 2050. We need to people to help us get there.
