Namfi, empowering future sea farers
The oldest profession in the world is to be a seafarer.
To become a professional seafarer you can join the Namibian Maritime and Fisheries Institute for all your maritime training. This training is categorized in officers and crew. The officers are divided into two professions:
Deck officers, who navigate and command the ship and look after the cargo and engineering officers, who keep the engines and machinery in running condition. Ratings support the deck and engineering tasks onboard.
If you are keen on following a career on sea or in related marine industries, you can contact the Namibian Maritime Fisheries Institute (NAMFI). It is Namibia's premier training institution for all seagoing personnel.
NAMFI VISION AND MISSION STATEMENT
The vision of NAMFI is "to be the maritime and fisheries training centre of choice in the SADC region".
The mission statement is: "to meet the needs of all stakeholders by providing high quality maritime and fisheries training in accordance with international standards".
It is sponsored by the Spanish Agency for International development cooperation.
CAREERS AT SEA
A career at sea is quite appealing to anyone who wants to combine traveling with a challenging career.
Today's ships are technically sophisticated machines designed for transportation of goods (cargo) and passengers at sea.
Upon attaining the necessary qualification/s, you can become a member of a highly qualified team employed by a company operating with tankers, container vessels, service vessels for off-shore oil rigs, fishing vessels, research vessels and recreational vessels.
Apart from working at sea, the maritime industry also involves shipbuilding and repair, ports, surveying, administration services, insurance and maritime law.
Ratings can be employed as deckhands on board various vessels.
Alternative employment can also be found ashore with companies responsible for doing maintenance and repairs for vessels.
Qualified Deck Officers can be employed as Officers in Charge of a Navigational Watch (OOW) on different types of vessels. Attaining the highest level of qualification provides a wider range of job opportunities at sea and on land, e.g. Manning, Insurance, Training, Fleet Management, etc.
The best way to become a Deck or Engineer Officer is to be employed as a trainee officer with a shipping company and undertake sea time and training to learn your chosen field. As you gain sea experience and academic qualifications you increase in rank by obtaining Certificates of Competence.
These are issued by the Directorate of Maritime Affairs when you have completed your sea-time, academic training and assessments as well as other requirements set by the Directorate (DMA).
