Tiivistelmä
I have decided to do my thesis about the Yachting industry and look a bit closer at the growing demand for merchant mariners in the industry. In Finland it can be challenging to find work as an Officer, that is why many young examined seafarers choose to pursue a career outside of the Finnish flag. Yachting can be one of the answers for seafarers who are willing to take a step further to gain experience.
After I have worked on one of the most prestigious yachts in the game, I have realized that the industry is growing both in fleet size and in size of the yachts, which can create opportunities for Finnish seafarers.
In Finland, we have a long history of merchant shipping, which can be seen in our high-quality educational system. The question is: How could we get the most significant advantage of it in yachting?
Yachting is a quite closed industry, which can be challenging to get into, especially if you don't know-how. In my thesis, I have done a study about the need to get more information out to the students and how it could be developed.
