Teekay Shipping launches UK Cadet Programme
The search for the next generation of UK seafarers has been launched thanks to a collaboration between one of the world’s largest ship owners and a renowned UK maritime charity.
Teekay Shipping which has a regional hub in Glasgow, is working with Trinity House, a UK charity dedicated to safeguarding shipping and seafarers, to recruit cadets from across the UK to undertake a three or four year training programme which on successful completion could lead to a permanent role with Teekay, either onboard or ashore.
The collaboration will be administrated by Chiltern Maritime, a cadet management company who specialise in marine cadetships. Chiltern Maritime will oversee all aspects of the training through Trinity House whilst cadets will also gain valuable hands on experience with Teekay on board one of their many LNG vessels.
Cadets will also have access to Teekay’s ‘state-of-the-art’ simulation centre in Glasgow covering ship handling; navigation; bridge teamwork; ship-to-ship interactions; cargo operations; heavy traffic situations, and harsh weather conditions.
