I think the government of Nigeria through NIMASA and ministry of Marine and Blue Economy should invest in human capacity development as much as they're investing in Cabotage Vessel Financing Fund project and Blue Economy project. #seafarer #MaritimeCareer #humancapacitybuilsing #nigeriamaritime #seafarerdevelopment

Dangote Group is looking at increasing its annual vessel movements from about 300 to nearly 1,800 as the refinery and other industrial operations expand. Do you know what it could mean for Nigerian seafarers? We have been talking about indigenous shipping for years. Now the CVFF is about to be disbursed, while a major Nigerian company is preparing for a significant increase in vessel activity. But we also have a seafaring industry where many of the senior positions onboard vessels are still occupied by foreign nationals, while Nigerians are often concentrated at the rating level. So the question I'm asking is... Are we prepared enough to take advantage of the opportunities that are coming? #seafarerstraining #nigeriamaritime #seaman #MaritimeCareer #seafarer

The Nigeria Seaman’s Record Book is an official document issued to Nigerian seafarers for recording their identity, rank, vessel assignments, and sea service. It serves as an important record of a seafarer’s experience and service at sea which without, a Seafarer can not go onboard a ship. A copy of this document can last for 20 years and only needs to be renewed without requesting for a new copy. #seafarerstraining #seaman #seamanrecordbooklet #dischargebook #nigeriamaritime
