CARIBBEAN MARITIME PROFESSIONALS:

THE BACKYARD ADVANTAGE

The global maritime sector is undergoing a massive transformation driven by, among other factors, workforce and labor demands. The Caribbean is ascending as a new source for professional talent who are skilled in new technologies, engineering, and AI with sea time experience, and eager to work on- and off-shore. And these cadets are right in the backyard of many of the cruise and cargo companies for whom the Caribbean is pivotal—as a destination or waterway.
