I have completed GP Rating course from Marine Medical Clinic (Seafarers Training Institute), Mumbai and now looking for job. Please tell me where to apply for job?

Congratulations on completing your GP Rating course! As a graduate of the course, you are eligible to work as a rating on board Indian or foreign vessels. You can apply for jobs through various channels, such as:

Shipping companies: Many shipping companies hire ratings for their vessels. You can directly apply to the HR departments of these companies or through their career portals.

Manning agents: There are many manning agents who act as intermediaries between shipping companies and seafarers. You can register with them and apply for jobs through them.

Job portals: There are many job portals that list job openings for seafarers. You can create a profile on these portals and apply for relevant job openings.

Networking: You can also network with people in the shipping industry and explore job opportunities through them.

It is important to note that working at sea requires physical fitness and medical fitness. You will need to undergo a medical examination and obtain a medical fitness certificate before you can join a ship. Good luck with your job search!
