Apart from the other subjects
taken, those considering a sea-going career must obtain
good marks in mathematics and natural sciences on standard
or higher grade level.
Profile and contact details of schools
offering maritime studies subjects nationally
From Grade 10, some schools offer one or two maritime-related
subjects:
MARITIME ECONOMICS and/or NAUTICAL SCIENCE.
MARITIME ECONOMICS
is designed for learners to proceed into the maritime industry
ashore and deals with topics such as maritime geography,
port studies, maritime trade patterns, the structure of
the local shipping industry, various aspects of ship operation,
the bunker trade, ships' agency procedures, ship-broking,
cargo clearing, and maritime ecology.
NAUTICAL SCIENCE
prepares learners directly for a career at sea and covers
seamanship, coastal and astro-navigation, ship construction,
cargo stowage, and various other aspects of marine science.
Many learners do both subjects, irrespective
of their career interests.
