Many shipping companies offer merchant navy sponsorship, which guarantees a job and onboard training after a candidate completes their academic and pre-sea training. This is a global practice, though the exact processes and companies involved can vary by country.
Candidates usually apply to a shipping company directly for sponsorship and have to go through a selection process which might include written exams, psychometric tests, medical examination and interviews. Those who pass all the stages receive a sponsorship letter from the shipping company, which is a commitment to placement after their training.
It is a misconception that merchant navy sponsorship means a fee waiver. However, it only guarantees a job. The cost of on-board training is often included in the academic fees of the sponsored pre-sea course.
While many Indian companies sponsor candidates and many international students come to India for the same, giants like Maersk, Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM), and MSC also offer sponsorship programs.
