A CAREER in the maritime sector does not necessarily mean a job at sea for many months on end. A good number of maritime professionals can be found on shore, serving industries and ancillary groups that support shipping, logistics, global trade and maritime transport.
While others find it easy to join the shore-based maritime industry, those who have been working for decades at sea feel a considerable amount of hesitation in shifting a career from bridge to boardroom.
