Dangers of Maritime Work – Extreme Working Conditions
The maritime industry is currently seeing a boom in job opportunities, thanks in large part to the rise of e-commerce, globalization, and global warming. There are plenty of benefits to having a maritime career: a six-figure salary without the accompanying student loans, travel opportunities, healthcare coverage, and a challenging work environment. But this same benefit – a challenging work environment – is also the industry’s greatest downfall. Simply put, maritime jobs are dangerous.
Extreme Working Conditions – not only is there the temperamental sea to contend with, as she rocks, rolls and storms; there’s the boats themselves. Depending on the type of vessel, you may find yourself working in high open spaces or cramped, tight quarters in sweaty, humid conditions.
