Hong Kong has been well known as one of the major shipping and logistics ports in Far East. The handling rate of Containers in terms of TEU, which includes import, export and transshipment cargoes, has been amongst the best in the world for many years. It has contributed to some 20% of the Hong Kong’s GDP.

Hong Kong government is determined to develop Hong Kong into a leading logistics and transshipment centre in the Pearl River Delta. The maritime industry has a wide range of career, on land as well as at sea. These are well paid, interesting and challenging jobs. From electronics to engineering, navigation, law, accounting, naval architecture, insurance and logistics. The opportunities are numerous!

Most of the above opportunities require qualification and experience at sea. Shipboard experiences are crucial, especially in job opportunities such as Marine Officers in Marine Department, Marine Surveyors, Harbour Pilots, Superintendent in shipping companies. However, there were only a handful of youth people working at sea in the past ten years, which make it less and less people in Hong Kong who will be able to fill up the jobs as arise from time to time.
