Professionals

In order for our ships to be able to sail from port to port, we need both those willing to join for one or two years to serve where needed as well as professionals that fill specific roles on board.

Opportunities exist for personnel with skills such as deck and engineering officers and ratings, doctors, cooks, electricians, plumbers, welders, fitters, toolmakers, carpenters, bookkeepers, journalists, photographers, designers, information technology and audio visual professionals. Participants who join to use their professional skills are also given opportunity to participate in a broad spectrum of ship community and public events.

People joining OM Ships have to raise financial support to cover their living expenses, usually through sponsorship from churches and individual supporters.
