People usually enjoy the seas during summer. As a young kid, a common picture drawn for a sea is a wide landscape of blue waters with a ship floating miles away at the center. Have you imagined it? Well, if yes, let’s dive deeper into the picture and swim out of the drawn lines.
Taking a look closer, we will get to know the importance of the ship located at the middle of the sea. A shipping vessel is used in marine transportation. Marine transportation is an important aspect which contributes to the economic growth of the Philippines. Being an archipelagic country, waterways are helpful in transporting goods and people from one place to another; however, this would not be safe if not for the marine engineers doing their jobs onboard.
Marine engineering in the Philippines is usually perceived as a high-paying profession. Marine engineers are also able to gain revered reputation due to their tough skills, which also becomes one of the reasons why there are a number of young boys that are attracted to the beautiful future promised by working at sea.
For common ship passengers, traveling by sea could be so much of a fun adventure where they could enjoy the cold sea breeze embracing them. Think of the movie “Titanic”. People were having fun at the top deck, sharing stories of their life, and enjoying every moment they have on the sea while waiting for the time they will get back to land.
The safety of the crew ultimately lies in the hands of the marine engineers inside the control rooms, maintaining good engine conditions. Basically, they are responsible for everything that is mechanical, electrical and structural in the ship.
Marine engineers fix machines from toilets and doors and up to windshield wipers aside from the engines and machines in the ship. And, what’s simply amazing with them is that marine engineers deal with these kinds of problems at the center of the ocean where there are no stores to buy additional screws or supplies, andno means of immediate transportation to return home for a long time.
Since there are a lot of things that need to be maintained inside a ship, keeping the mariners physically fit is important. There are rooms dedicated for them to do workout. This helps them keep their body healthy so they would be able to perform tasks effectively.
Due to the positive reception and continuous development of the marine engineering team in the Philippines, the country has ranked as the fourth’s largest shipbuilding nation in the world (2014) and is continuing to build its name as one of the best shipbuilding nations all around the world. However, the country is in transition and needs to keep an eye on the craft of seafaring. Right now, there are still a issues with the marine transportation and coastal boundaries in the Philippines; things that might affect our sea faring rankings.
If it happens that you are an individual traveler, at least ponder on who are keeping your safe while on board before taking a selfie. By the time you’re asleep, they’ll still be awake making sure you get to your destination in one happy piece.
