1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:27,720
Background music playing.

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Background music playing.

3
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Background music playing.

4
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
If you don't love the sea, don't stay home, do something else.

5
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
I am paid to do the thing I like the most in the world.

6
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
It's a great job.

7
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
For me it's the best job in the world.

8
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
I like to say that I am the woman of a sailor.

9
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Background music playing.

10
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,000
A friend of mine told me about one of his internships aboard a container ship during his studies.

11
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
He told me about this internship and it totally fascinated me.

12
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,000
I loved it. I worked, I travelled, I climbed stairs, I crossed canals.

13
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
I didn't have my baccalaureate.

14
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000
That's exactly what I needed to enter the school of Merlin Marchand.

15
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Background music playing.

16
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
It's a job that brings a lot of money.

17
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
That's a good point.

18
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:32,000
It allows you to travel, discover countries, cross storms.

19
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Things like that that are out of the ordinary.

20
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Background music playing.

21
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:50,000
I think that when I'll be at the bridge, at the helm of one of the biggest boats in the world,

22
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
when I'll give the order to leave the moorings,

23
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
I think I'll have achieved my goal and realized one of my biggest dreams,

24
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
to become captain of the Merlin Marchand.

25
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Background music playing.

26
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Let's go.

27
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Of course, we remember the first time we gave the order to leave.

28
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
You received, in front, behind, you drop everything.

29
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
It's a moment when we find ourselves alone.

30
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,000
So we say to ourselves, well, we have to take the step and then we have to assume.

31
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
We don't really take responsibility.

32
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
When I was a kid, I spent a lot of years on the water,

33
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
and I saw boats passing by, I saw wet boats.

34
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,000
And with the tide, it changed from cape to mooring,

35
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
and it always intrigued me, I wanted to know what was going on.

36
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,000
And the opportunity presented itself to do studies, and I have been committed for 30 years.

37
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Well, finish behind, in front of the Bosco Seudemont.

38
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Zero Labar.

39
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Zero Labar.

40
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Labaretta zero.

41
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000
A very slow wind.

42
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
I started by sailing on the African coast, where there were a lot of cliffs.

43
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
And then I did the northern ferries, where there were a lot of manoeuvres,

44
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
and the commanders were very interested in the manoeuvre,

45
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
when I was second captain, and it gave me the taste of the manoeuvre,

46
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
and that's why I naturally came to pilot,

47
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
because of this stress.

48
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,000
To the right 20.

49
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,000
To the right 20.

50
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Labaretta 20 to the right.

51
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
When the ships make destinations on Panama, Brazil,

52
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
all these beautiful destinations that make you dream again,

53
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
yes, there we always have this little regret,

54
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
we would like to stay on board for another ten days to follow the commander.

55
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
What is fascinating is that when you get into this profession,

56
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
it's about discovering the environment,

57
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
also discovering the marine environment, the sea,

58
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
and then you don't get bored.

59
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Even on boats as big as this one,

60
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
you don't get bored.

61
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
You don't get bored.

62
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
You don't get bored.

63
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
You don't get bored.

64
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Even on boats as big as this one,

65
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
boats that move very, very fast,

66
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
you also take the time to look at the sea,

67
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
because the sea is changing.

68
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
You go to the same place, it's never the same colour,

69
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
it's never the same environment.

70
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
That's what's fascinating about the sea.

71
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,000
The commander is the chief of the expedition.

72
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
We also call him the old man or the pasha.

73
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
He is responsible for everything,

74
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,000
and he is seconded by a second captain and a chief mechanic.

75
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
The big responsibility of the second captain

76
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
is the loading,

77
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
which is going to be very, very difficult.

78
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000
It's going to be very, very difficult.

79
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
He is responsible for the loading

80
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
and for the stability of the boat.

81
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
On board the boat, I'm the chief mechanic.

82
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000
I'm responsible for everything that is driving,

83
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
maintenance, painting, mechanics,

84
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
everything that is driving and maintenance of the ship.

85
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000
There is a lieutenant essentially dedicated to navigation.

86
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
He traces the routes,

87
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
he takes care of the correction of the maps and documents.

88
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
It's a position that is quite important.

89
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
You have to be ready to be able to get down to the machine

90
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
at any time of day and night if necessary.

91
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
You have to be available.

92
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000
You can't say, well, I've done my eight hours, that's it.

93
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
That's not the purpose of the job.

94
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000
What I particularly like about this way of working

95
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
is that when you're on board, it's 100% work.

96
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
And in the same way, when you're on holiday, it's 100% holiday.

97
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,000
We sail one month for one month off.

98
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Currently, on these boats,

99
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
we're on board for two months and at home for two months.

100
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,000
So this is my office, with the small office part.

101
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,000
A little corner in the living room to receive the colleagues.

102
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
As you can see, it's not something that lacks comfort.

103
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
We're well set up.

104
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000
And next to the cabin, as you can see,

105
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
we don't sleep in hammocks.

106
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
PIANO PLAYS

107
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
I serve 10 years on cargo ships.

108
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
I went all around the world.

109
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
I met a lot of people.

110
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
It was exciting.

111
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Then I decided that I had to move to the passenger ships

112
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
to meet more people, because you are coming close to the people

113
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
which are going to sail with you.

114
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
You can see more exciting things with the cruise ships,

115
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000
because you are coming close to the people

116
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
which are going to sail with you.

117
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000
You can see more exciting things with the cruise ships,

118
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,000
because you visit the most beautiful and exciting places around the world.

119
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
It's a very nice restaurant here.

120
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
We offer very good service and very good food.

121
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Compared to five-star hotels.

122
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Trust me, I try to behave, but it's not so easy.

123
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000
You cannot sail directly with the passenger ships.

124
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
You need the experience which you get.

125
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
You learn travelling around the world,

126
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,000
and then, when you move, you can move to the passenger ships,

127
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,000
which is, let's say, the most important,

128
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
because you carry on passengers,

129
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,000
and it's very important to have good experience to sail with.

130
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
There is no cost for human life.

131
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,000
When you work, you work to express yourself.

132
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Not to do the work because you have to, but because you like to do.

133
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
So that's the big deal.

134
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
If you don't like what you do, better don't do it.

135
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Do something else, especially for this professional matter.

136
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
For me, it's not a job.

137
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
It's a passion.

138
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
I'm paid to do the thing I like the most in the world.

139
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Actually, sometimes I feel a bit ashamed at the end of the month

140
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000
when they give me my salary.

141
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Sometimes I ask myself, why are they giving me my salary?

142
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000
To have a man who does a job which is not common,

143
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,000
who is seen as a semi-hero.

144
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
It may seem very difficult,

145
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
seeing this relationship from the outside,

146
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000
one day yes, one day no, almost.

147
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
But in my opinion, it's very beautiful

148
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
because you never get into the monotony of every day,

149
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
so you always experience a new emotion,

150
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
like the re-entry.

151
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
The first week starts,

152
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000
where you have to put everything back in order.

153
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
It's a re-entry.

154
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000
So it's something that always goes on,

155
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000
almost always new.

156
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
When he comes back, he tells me.

157
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
He tells me a lot.

158
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000
We don't have the problem of staying up late for dinner,

159
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
we don't know what to talk about

160
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
after talking about work, about the day,

161
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
which is always the same,

162
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:40,000
stories, friends, meetings, landscapes, photos.

163
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,000
This photo shows that on board,

164
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
there is not only the ship,

165
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,000
we take care of everything that is around life.

166
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
This is an aperitif,

167
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
one of many aperitifs all together,

168
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
with the guitar.

169
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
This is beautiful because there was a Frenchman,

170
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
a Dutchman, an Italian and a Belgian,

171
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
so all different nationalities,

172
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000
which with the guitar is very difficult

173
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
because to find the song to sing.

174
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,000
This ship was stuck for a couple of days

175
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
and he asked us to pass it in front of us,

176
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
here on the nose, to break the ice

177
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
to be able to let it pass,

178
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
to leave, to unlock it.

179
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:26,000
The first time I was alone was in the Baltic,

180
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
in the sunset, it was winter,

181
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000
so there was sun, moon, sky,

182
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000
you feel like a master of the world

183
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000
because everything under your command,

184
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
everything passes from you,

185
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
but at the same time,

186
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
in the midst of all this,

187
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000
you feel like a master of the world.

188
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Everything passes from you,

189
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
but at the same time,

190
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
in the midst of all this scenery,

191
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
the sea, the sky, the sun,

192
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
you feel tiny, tiny, tiny.

193
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
The first time I had to manoeuvre

194
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
for a ship that had priority,

195
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,000
I called the commander,

196
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
I didn't know what to do,

197
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
I said, telephone, commander,

198
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
a dangerous ship, what should I do?

199
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
I felt like I was at school,

200
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000
but it was so...

201
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Zoe, you are the captain,

202
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
of course, don't forget,

203
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
we are always here,

204
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
we intervene if there is a problem.

205
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
One, you supervise everything

206
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
that happens at the gateway

207
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
at the navigation level.

208
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Two, you give the bar codes,

209
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
the route codes,

210
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
based on the information

211
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
from the map and from the radar.

212
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
I have been a professor

213
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
at the Naval School in Versailles

214
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
for about three years.

215
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
In English, the bar codes, please.

216
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
I chose to do this

217
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,000
because my wife was pregnant

218
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,000
and as a sailor, it's not easy.

219
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000
We were away from home

220
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
and I really wanted to participate

221
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
in the whole pregnancy,

222
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
the birth and certainly

223
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
the first years of our baby's life.

224
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000
But three years away from the sea,

225
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
we are sailors,

226
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
and it's not possible,

227
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
it's really very difficult

228
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
to adapt to life on land.

229
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
For a sailor,

230
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
the freedom that we have

231
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
in our profession as sailors

232
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
is missing a lot.

233
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
There are a lot of people

234
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
who say,

235
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
oh yes, the romanticism

236
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
of navigation,

237
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
the romantic sailor,

238
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
it's over,

239
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
that's not true.

240
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
It's more than a discovery,

241
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
they get where they want to go.

242
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
On course, 040.

243
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Thank you.

244
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Steady as she goes.

245
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Steady.

246
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Steady.

247
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Midships.

248
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Midships.

249
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Midships.

250
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Today is the first time

251
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
that I'm sailing.

252
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Midships.

253
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
It's exciting,

254
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
because you don't know

255
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
how the boat reacts,

256
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
how everything works,

257
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000
where everything is.

258
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
After a while,

259
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
you get used to it

260
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
and it's not a problem anymore.

261
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
I chose this profession

262
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
because there are different facets,

263
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
you see different things.

264
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
I've always loved science,

265
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
but also languages.

266
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
I love to learn

267
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
new things,

268
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
but preferably a lot of different things.

269
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
It's in the guts.

270
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
I think that...

271
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
I really consider it

272
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
as a lifestyle

273
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
and not as a job.

274
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Because if you consider it as a job,

275
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000
you don't last long,

276
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
there are a lot of sacrifices to make.

277
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
If you consider it as a lifestyle,

278
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
you make the sacrifices

279
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
and you're ready to make them,

280
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
so it goes much better.

281
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Zoé?

282
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
If the next cup is 2-3-0,

283
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
the peniche is in the way.

284
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
So we're going to change.

285
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
2-4-0 is better?

286
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
We live in a confined environment.

287
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
2-7-0.

288
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
You have to accept

289
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
everyone's character and behavior.

290
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
It's like a school of life.

291
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
It's not just

292
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
learning theory or practice.

293
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
You have to learn

294
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
and take on yourself

295
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
when there are remarks that don't please you.

296
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
It's the lifestyle that suits me best.

297
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
For me, it's the best job in the world.

298
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
There's nothing comparable.

299
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000
And I'm proud to be able to tell people

300
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
that I'm at the Marine Merchant School

301
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
and later I'll be proud to say I'm a sailor

302
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
because I know that

303
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
comparing all the jobs in the world to being a sailor

304
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
is something unique and exceptional.

305
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
The students who enroll here

306
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
know in hindsight

307
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
that they're going to sail,

308
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
that they're going to do practical things

309
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
on board a ship compared to other courses,

310
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000
like law or engineering.

311
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Those are more general things.

312
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
They're more specific

313
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
in the direction of sailing.

314
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
That's why our students are very motivated.

315
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,000
I had my last exam on the 27th of June.

316
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,000
I had the results on the 5th of July.

317
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
On the 1st of June,

318
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
I already had a job

319
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
and I had rejected others

320
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
You have the opportunity

321
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,000
to make a lot of money

322
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
from the very first day,

323
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
which is very important,

324
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
especially for young people

325
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
to get paid so good

326
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
because on land,

327
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
it takes a long time

328
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
to make some good money.

329
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
So you have the opportunity to make good money here.

330
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Of course, good money doesn't mean

331
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
that it's not so easy to make all this money.

332
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
In the future, it's no longer possible

333
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
to sail with a pension.

334
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
So a solution has to be found

335
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
to start a career on a ship.

336
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
It used to be less well-organized.

337
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Now the students are being prepared for that.

338
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
A career in itself

339
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
gives people a lot of opportunities.

340
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
They become real decision-makers.

341
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
And that makes it easy

342
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
to find people like that

343
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
in boards of directors

344
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
or companies on the ship.

345
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Comfordai is responsible for 90%

346
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
of the shipped goods in the world.

347
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
That's a sector in full expansion.

348
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
As long as the economy grows,

349
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
there is a growth in transport.

350
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000
And as long as there is a growth in transport,

351
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000
you have more and more shipping.

352
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
You have to consider that 40%

353
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
of the world's shipping

354
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,000
is controlled by European companies.

355
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000
It's up to us to decide

356
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
if we want to do

357
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
economics or marine science.

358
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
You have to be sure

359
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,000
that you like the world,

360
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000
the sea,

361
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
because then you become

362
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
a second wife.

363
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
You have to be sure

364
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
that you want to do it

365
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
and to come

366
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
because it's the most beautiful thing

367
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
in the world.

368
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
It's the most beautiful job.

369
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Midships!

370
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Midships!

371
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
OK, Bollaris,

372
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
what's your destination, please?

373
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Yes, our destination is Jibotar Point.

374
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000
OK. What kind of ship are you, over?

375
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Gas tankers.

376
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,000
The position?

377
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Heading for pilot station is

378
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000
three-zero-eight.

379
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
OK.

380
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
OK.

381
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
OK.

382
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000
That's the position.

383
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Three-zero-eight.

384
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Three-zero-eight. OK, thank you.

385
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Distance one and a half mile.

386
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
One and a half mile. OK, thank you.

387
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Let's have a look...

388
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,000
Have you seen that Navy ship there?

389
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000
That just went up to midships.

390
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Yes, that was the first day.

391
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
It was the first time I saw a ship like that.

392
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Is that the first time you see a ship like that?

393
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Yes, that's right.

394
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Star Wars ready?

395
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Star Wars ready.

396
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Thanks for watching!
