I am 25 kinda getting a late start to this but I am thinking of going to a Massachusettes Maritime Academy whats your take on going to school and how good is this school? directly from school DOES this mean, I become a third mate on ships that sail internationally of unlimited tonnage? and how long does it take to reach the master of Oceans unlimited? Thanks
Good age, good idea, good schoool. You can find licensing requirements here: http://www.mmts.com/licens.htm
thanks for the link. Can someone tell me the "job description" for third mate and the master of oceans. I am unfamiliar with the terms thanks again in advance
3rd Mate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_mate This is as close as I could find to Master Un Limited, it is the non US Term for the same qualification : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Mariner
ahh so about few years of being on the ship as you go up the rank to become a master of oceans unlimited. that allows you to be on ANY SHIP? (minus hazardous and towing?)
