    1. Ram Govindasamy says:

      Dear sir, Position on-board rating is the begining of shipping career and doesnt require higher educational qualification. I wouldnt accept you will be working as slaves but this position will carry out supporting roles which will involve cleaning and other jobs.
      If you do not wish to take up this career you can always join Deck or Engine side as officer after you complete required training. For more information please email admin@dieselship.com, one of our sailing admin will get in touch with you who can answer all your queries.
