When things go bump in the night… or in the day, like the two cruise ships in the
video above, "Someone’s gonna hafta pay." That sentence, despite the poor
grammar, sums up the insurance industry in a nutshell. Policyholders purchase
insurance to pay for damages in the event of an accident or other property & casualty
loss. Major carriers featured here include One Beacon and AIG..

Marine insurance can include coverage for collision, grounding, salvage contractors,
injured seamen (Jones Act coverage), wrongful death lawsuits (DOHSA Death on the
High Seas Act coverage) shoreside worker’s injuries (Longshore & Harbor Workers’
Compensation Act coverage), maintenance & cure, passenger injury, and other risks.

High Seas Act coverage) shoreside worker’s injuries (Longshore & Harbor Workers’
Compensation Act coverage), maintenance & cure, passenger injury, and other risks.
Another featured carriers is The Travelers (on listed employers). Many of the property
& casualty jobs that arise involve claims. Insurance claim representatives analyze
losses. This involves maritime law, comparative liability, remedies & damages. They
may work with admiralty attorneys, vessel owners, cargo interests, crews, cruise ship
passengers and other parties who may have sustained personal injuries or property
damages.

Today's watch standing
engineers and officers
must acclimate
themselves with so
much more technology
than their predecessors.
Click propulsion and
marine engineering

glimpse of the state of
the art power plant of the

The plant is in stark
contrast to the steam

Shipbreaking jobs are not among the more sought after positions in this industry.
That shouldn't come as a surprise. When older ships are at the end of the line, they
could be filled with vast quantities of hazardous substances such as asbestos,
PCBs, carcinogenic solvents, silica compounds and other toxic materials. Some
nations have found that the solution to dealing with such environmental nuisances
is to "export" the problem to third world countries where workers take the ships
apart under dismal safety measures. Greenpeace has been an opponent of the
practice. Click Greenpeace to learn about employment & volunteer opportunities.

It's funny how different professionals see
different things when they look at a ship.
Take the tanker on the left. A second mate
sees a need to download the latest
updates to electronic charts. A first mate
sees cargo loading tables that have to be
followed to avoid breaking a ship's back.
And a naval architect sees line drawings
like those above. To learn about a naval
architect position with NAVSEA, go to

Almost a century has passed since the loss of
the RMS Titanic in the cold and bleak waters of the
North Atlantic. Yet the ship continues to fascinate
historians and marine professionals, for her
advanced technology by 1912 standards, for her
class structure that would appear bizarre in
today's cruise ships, and for the seeming
absence of fear or respect for icebergs on that
fateful maiden voyage.

Work for a tough boss?
'Treated dreadfully?
Well, there's a lot of that
today. But if it's help,
maybe some of the
resources in Maritime
Education could help in
climbing up higher on the
food chain of labor!
When you get there, look
for the link to colleges,
universities, maritime
academies and training
centers towards the
bottom of the page below
the picture of the ivy
league looking college
campus. When you get to
the picture of the Hapag
Lloyd containership
Dusseldorf Express, you
can navigate between all
the academies and
maritime schools by the
numbers above the ship.
Good luck!
