Bridging the gap: from seafarer to shore based leadership webinar

25 Mar 2026 10:00AM - 11:00AM Online Webinar

Sea service is becoming shorter. More professionals are considering transitioning to a position ashore. Expectations around leadership, technical capability and cross-sector knowledge are increasing. For today’s seafarers, continuous professional development is no longer something to consider “later” in a seagoing career but a strategic career decision that should begin early and carry throughout time at sea.

In this free webinar, our speakers will explore how maritime professionals can successfully transition from sea to shore-based leadership roles whilst incorporating and enhancing the value of their seagoing careers.

We will examine why now is a critical time to invest in continuing education and skills development. With career expectations shifting and the industry evolving with new shore opportunities opening up, gaining advanced qualifications such as a Master’s degree or diversifying your vocational skillset can be a decisive advantage to an experienced seagoing professional.

Join: John Chudley, Rector at MLA College, Captain John Lloyd FNI, CEO The Nautical Institute, Captain Sarabjit Butalia FNI, The Nautical Institute Academy, Somiyeh Djavanroodi, The Nautical Institute Academy to examine why now is a critical time to invest in continuing education and skills development.

Whether you are actively planning a transition or simply keeping options and pathways open for the future, this webinar will provide practical insight to help you take control of your next professional move.
