3. What advice would you give to someone who wants to start a career in the maritime industry nowadays?

Of course, first of all, to seek advice from my training advisors and me at the BBS. This is one of our core jobs and I think it is incredibly important. There are so many ways, which makes it hard to choose the right path.

Much of the information is given in our brochures and on our website. Currently, in cooperation with our partners of the "Maritimes Bündnis", with ver.di and with support from the BG Verkehr, we are developing a new website for the maritime sector. It is intended to become the central information hub for training and career options in the maritime industry – both land-based and at sea. And of course, it is intended to make the information more accessible to young people.
