Overview

The Nautical Science/Maritime Operations at University of Trinidad and Tobago envisions a globally competitive maritime hub within Trinidad and Tobago. The existing local maritime industry is built around the local energy sector and despite an established and mature energy sector the maritime industry remains embryonic.

Learning outcomes

Existing shore based careers include Marine Pilots, Harbourmasters, Maritime Lawyers, Port Captains, Ship Surveyors, Terminal Operators, and Cargo Planners. Many persons currently employed in these areas have had to access the required training from foreign universities and institutions.
