There are several shipping companies in ph I know that might accept you for cadetship. Companies like Temile, bourbon interoil, starz marine, thomes marine, tamrose, etc. You can sesrch any of them on google to get their office address but mind you, they deal mostly on offshore vessels.... If you'll prefer to start your career with tanker then you'll have to go Lagos.

Another thing is you'll need some professional certificate before any company can allow you to join their vessel even as a cadet(trainee).

Here are the basic certificate you'll need to work onboard a ship as a trainee.

- Stcw

- OCTF(this one is only needed if you're working onboard a tanker vessel).

- ISPS

- International passport.

- Yellow card.

- Seaman booklet.

- Cadet workbook(you'll get this one in Nimasa Lagos for 5k).

- Medical certificate (from any Nimasa approved hospital).


Aside the ones I explained in bracket, you can get the rest from either Charkins or Maritime academy of Nigeria Oron.

Nevertheless, I'll advice you get all these aforementioned certificates only after any company has given you an approval to send you onboard due to the fact that those professional certificates do expires.

Papanwamaikpe:
Sure we can. Go ahead and ask your question

My first girlfriend is happily married with two kids. Funny enough back then she said she'll either get married to a doctor, bishop or an Engr. So I promised her am gonna be an Engineer. Las las she got married immediately after secondary school to one business man that sells cement.

Well, guess what? Today am a successful marine engineer earning 7figures per month. Such is life

The Average life span of a ship engine depends on the maintenance culture of the engine crew and company's zeal to supply spares for maintenance, though every five years continuous survey is carried out where the ship's engine must be totally overhauled (change of piston, cylinder head and liner, oil and water pumps, new valves, sometimes new crankshaft according to crank shaft deflection reading) and also the hull of the ship is sand blasted and lot of stuffs onboard are changed, then a surveyor from classification society like Lloyd's register, ABS, Bureau Veristas inspects and certifies that the ship is sea worthy.

So most ships engine life span can stay for more than 30 years (Because I have seen product tankers that are still plying Nigerian Waters that was built in 1978)
