Navigation Officer Cadet

The life of a navigation officer cadet or deck cadet is adventurous and rewarding. When in charge of the navigational watch one must undertake responsibilities while also being a trustworthy individual. It is undoubtedly the ideal learning experience in seafaring and marine engineering in Sri Lanka, which is an essential step in a cadet’s journey towards becoming a Ship’s Captain.

In addition to the prospect of adventure at sea, a navigation officer cadet will receive an attractive tax-free remuneration in US dollars. As work is assigned on a contractual basis, cadets taking seaman courses can also maintain a healthy work-life balance while planning a productive retirement.
