It was my dream to choose a diverse career for myself that’s why I choose to join the merchant navy. The diversity in this career attracted me a lot and I made up my mind to become a navy sailor. In this career there are many companies operating small ships to large tankers and ferries. The charm of sea always attracted me since my childhood and this emotional attraction became a dream and this dream was turned in to reality by the Sailors Maritime Academy.
Because of the international competition in the area of economics and open trade between different countries nations depend on shipping industry to transport cargo and services across borders.
