THE SIGNIFICANCE OF MARINE TRAINING




The significance of marine training
Contrary to popular belief, you can build a scintillating career in the army, navy or air force-the three broad divisions of the defense services. You can earn a good amount of money and fame as a lieutenant, naval officer or air-force pilot without having to face stiff competition. Talking about the marine industry, the maritime environment is overstrained owing to the burgeoning human population- the marine fishing sector is shrinking with every passing day.
If we wish to continue tasting fish dishes in the near future, keeping the marine industry afloat is extremely crucial. It is quite surprising and unfortunate to note that even in the 21st century there are a large number of fishing trawlers and vessels that operate without a license. Using an unlicensed trawler or boat for fishing is not only illegal but also quite risky.
Marine training amongst other things makes the learner or new recruit aware of the pitfalls of abusing the marine or nautical environments. The fresh recruits are made familiar with the various advanced instruments used in modern-day vessels that help in making the voyages safer. Marine radio, a versatile communication instrument is one such equipment.
A marine radio comes to the aid of all stakeholders in the industry, enabling to commence and complete a journey across the high seas successfully. The instrument chiefly composed of a transmitter and a receiver, lets the captain of an ocean liner or an oil tanker, maintain contact with a naval base or marine station. The captain is able to send out SOSs via the marine radio during inclement weather or when the vessel has met with a mishap and is on the verge of sinking.
The radio comes with a tiny screen that displays the region the vessel is passing through. Awareness about the industry can be disseminated via the Internet and traditional, offline mediums such as newspapers, magazines, leaflets, posters, debates, and discussions. There are various other ways of making everybody aware about the marine industry as well. Australian students as well as students of other nationalities looking to build a career in the marine sector can apply for boating licenses and subscribe to marine radio courses.
