LIFE AT SEA
Shipping is an industry that contributes over 90% to the world economy. There are about 51400 merchant ships plying all over the world, transferring goods between places, keeping the economy running. Whether it is oil from the Gulf or wheat from the Cargill Grain Dock in Houston or iPhones in containers being delivered from one part of the world to another – everything is running round the clock, with precision and diligence.

The containers or the vast amounts of content carried by rail is also the result of a ship having gotten it in the first place. The sheer volume that can be carried onboard negates any competition whatsoever when it comes to the economical aspect of trade and transport.

The need to be away from family for long periods, being without connectivity to the outside world for days at times, being at sea day in and day out, the worry about family and the ones close to the heart, immense work pressure to deliver everything as planned- it all takes a huge toll on any individual- just imagine having to do all that as part of any other regular job!

All in all, merchant navy doesn’t spare us of the troubles of workplace stresses. Finding joy in the small and unique pleasures is what keeps each one of us strong, miles away from home.
