The Merchant Navy Training Board, part of the UK Chamber of Shipping, has recently released an insightful Careers at Sea documentary called A Sea of Opportunities: The Making of a UK Merchant Navy Cadet.

The documentary provides a behind-the-scenes look at what training is like in the UK, both at sea and ashore, where cadets take part in a mixture of theoretical and practical training.

The video looks at some of the workshops provided covering electrical, deck and engine training, along with sea survival safety, life at sea and more.
