Mariners are the backbone of marine. Commercially, they crew the vessels that carry the cargoes and passengers critical to trade and transportation, while in government fleets they ensure the safety and security of our waterways. There are typically four categories of mariners: Navigation, Engineering, Logistics and Ratings personnel, each contributing their own expertise to make everything onboard shipshape.
