Finding Opportunity for the Right Job on Ships in Tanker Companies
You are working in a great tanker shipping company with a nice Sea Job but due to your commitments at home, are you thinking of quitting? Maybe that isn’t the only solution.
First, make sure that leaving is the only option. If it is, then well, you have to actively get in the market for the conditions to fulfill you commitments.

Getting your resume ready, connecting with people, doing research on shipping companies—all these steps are necessary. Back to the question—is it really necessary to leave? Let’s think about where you are now.
What are the pros at staying with the company?
1. You enjoy the culture and values of the company you currently work for.
2. You respect the managers and how they run theshipping company.
3. You are respected in the shipping company and receive feedback that is supportive and complimentary. Your pay and perks reflect your contribution.
4. You know the shipping company and can see myself growing into more responsibility and influence.
And the cons?
1. You’d be starting over; not only in a new shipping company and new role, but in a new environment.
2. You may not know the managers or what they stand for or how you fit in.
3. It may not be entirely clear how you can grow in the position.
And I am sure you can think of other pros and cons to list out. The point is, to do it. Actually write them out. Ask your spouse, your partner, family members, friends what they think too.

If after you have taken a good inventory of the pros and cons, and, staying with the shipping company is something you value, then, the second thing to do is assess if staying on, can work.
You need to do the homework and the planning of how the move would benefit the shipping company, not just you. What’s in it for them? Be brutally honest about this, as it will force you to look at every angle. Let’s look at some areas that might be worthwhile to think through.
Do your performance reviews and metrics support that you are a valued and valuable employee?
Do you have differentiated skills or areas of expertise that would be hard to replicate should you leave?
Does your current tanker company is ready to make adjustments and allow to fulfill your commitments at home?
