The European Union, the world's leading commercial power, conducts almost all its trade in goods by sea. Our maritime industry is prosperous. It manages the world's biggest naval fleet. Paradoxically, this industry suffers from a lack of qualified European seafarers. In 2002, there was a shortage of around 30,000 naval officers, or 30% of the demand of the some 10,000 vessels of European Union countries. So there is no lack of prospects, and for those who love the sea, a career as a naval officer offers enriching and exciting working and living opportunities. The film "Waves of Passion" illustrates the various aspects of careers as an officer of the merchang navy as well as the possibilities of subsequent work ashore.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 00:00:00
Never say neverz 00:00:29
I realized that a lot of people 00:00:53
don't really have a concrete idea of what it is to be a merchant. 00:00:55
For example, my grandmother told me, 00:00:58
if you get hired as a merchant, 00:01:00
don't come back tattooed with a bottle of rum in your hand. 00:01:02
A quote from Plato, 00:01:06
he says, in the world there are the living, the dead and the sailors. 00:01:08
If you don't love the sea, don't stay home, do something else. 00:01:16
I'm paid to do the thing I like the most in the world. 00:01:19
It's a great job. 00:01:23
For me, it's the best job in the world. 00:01:24
I like to say that I'm the woman of a sailor. 00:01:26
It's a great job. 00:01:29
A friend of mine told me one day 00:01:49
about one of his internships on board a container ship 00:01:51
as part of his studies. 00:01:54
He told me about this internship, 00:01:56
and it totally fascinated me. 00:01:58
I loved it. 00:02:00
Working, travelling, 00:02:01
climbing stairs, crossing canoes and everything. 00:02:03
I had passed my bachelor's degree, 00:02:05
and that's exactly what I needed 00:02:07
to enter the school of merchant sailor. 00:02:09
It's a job that brings a lot of money, 00:02:16
so that's a good point. 00:02:20
And on top of that, it allows you to travel, 00:02:23
discover countries, 00:02:26
cross storms too, 00:02:28
things like that, 00:02:31
that are a bit out of the ordinary. 00:02:33
It's a regular job. 00:02:35
I think that when I'm on the bridge, 00:02:41
at the helm of a very big ship, 00:02:44
one of the biggest ships in the world, 00:02:47
when I give the order to leave the dock, 00:02:50
I think I'll have achieved my goal 00:02:53
and realized one of my biggest dreams, 00:02:55
to become a captain of a merchant ship. 00:02:57
Yes, let's go. 00:03:04
Of course, we remember the first time 00:03:05
we gave the order to leave. 00:03:07
You received, in front and behind, 00:03:10
you leave everything. 00:03:12
It's a moment when you find yourself alone. 00:03:14
So you say to yourself, 00:03:18
you have to take the step, 00:03:20
you have to take responsibility. 00:03:22
When I was a kid, 00:03:28
I spent a lot of years by the water, 00:03:29
and I saw boats passing by, 00:03:31
I saw wet boats, 00:03:33
and with the tide, 00:03:35
they changed from cape to wet, 00:03:37
and it always intrigued me, 00:03:39
I wanted to know what was going on. 00:03:41
And the opportunity presented itself 00:03:43
and I've been committed to it for 30 years. 00:03:45
We're going to finish behind, 00:03:49
in front of the Bosco, only. 00:03:51
Before, very slowly. 00:04:01
I started by sailing on the African coast, 00:04:02
where there were a lot of cliffs, 00:04:04
and then I did the northern ferries, 00:04:06
where there were a lot of manoeuvres, 00:04:08
and the captains were very interested in the manoeuvre, 00:04:10
when I was second captain, 00:04:12
and it gave me a taste for the manoeuvre, 00:04:14
and that's why I naturally came to manoeuvre, 00:04:16
because of the stress. 00:04:18
When the ships make their way to Panama, 00:04:27
Brazil, 00:04:29
all those beautiful destinations 00:04:31
that make you dream again, 00:04:33
yes, we always have this little regret, 00:04:35
we would like to stay on board 00:04:37
for another ten days to follow the captain. 00:04:39
But we don't want to do that. 00:04:44
What's fascinating is that when you get into this job, 00:04:55
it's about discovering the environment, 00:04:58
also discovering the marine environment, 00:05:00
the sea, 00:05:02
and then you don't get bored. 00:05:04
Even on boats as big as this one, 00:05:06
boats that move very, very fast, 00:05:09
you also take the time to look at the sea, 00:05:13
because the sea is changing. 00:05:16
When you go to the same place, 00:05:18
it's never the same colour, 00:05:20
it's never the same environment. 00:05:22
That's what's fascinating about the sea. 00:05:24
The captain is the head of the expedition, 00:05:35
so he's the head of the expedition. 00:05:38
We also call him the old man, 00:05:40
or the pasha. 00:05:42
He's responsible for everything, 00:05:44
and he's seconded by a second captain 00:05:46
and a chief mechanic. 00:05:48
The second captain's main responsibility 00:05:51
is the loading, 00:05:54
and the stability of the boat. 00:05:56
On board the boat, I'm the chief mechanic, 00:05:59
that is, I'm responsible for everything that's being driven, 00:06:01
maintained, painted, mechanical, 00:06:04
everything that's being driven, maintained on the boat. 00:06:07
There's a lieutenant 00:06:09
who's mainly dedicated to navigation, 00:06:11
and he's in charge of the routes. 00:06:13
He's in charge of correcting maps and documents. 00:06:15
It's a fairly important position. 00:06:18
You have to be ready to be able to get down to the machine 00:06:26
at any time of day and night, 00:06:28
in case of need. 00:06:30
You have to be available. 00:06:31
You can't say, 00:06:32
well, I've done my eight hours, that's it. 00:06:33
That's not the purpose of the job. 00:06:34
What I particularly like about this way of working 00:06:35
is that when you're on board, 00:06:39
it's 100% work. 00:06:42
And in the same way, 00:06:44
when you're on holiday, it's 100% holiday. 00:06:46
We sail one month for one month off. 00:06:49
That is, currently, on these boats, 00:06:51
roughly two months on board for two months at home. 00:06:53
So here's my office, 00:07:00
with the small office area. 00:07:04
A small living room to receive the colleagues. 00:07:06
As you can see, 00:07:09
it's not something that lacks comfort. 00:07:10
We're well set up. 00:07:12
And then next to it, the cabin. 00:07:14
As you can see, 00:07:16
we don't sleep in hammocks. 00:07:17
An officer of the Merchant Navy 00:07:28
must be rigorous in his work. 00:07:30
He must also like to go to others 00:07:32
and then discover others. 00:07:34
And that, at 20 years old, 00:07:36
you don't feel it yet. 00:07:38
It's little by little 00:07:40
that you forge a maritime personality. 00:07:41
And then when you discover 00:07:44
that you are fit to do this job, 00:07:46
you don't give up. 00:07:48
The lock is zero. 00:07:52
214 right and 100 left. 00:07:54
The lock is zero. 00:07:58
I served 10 years on cargo ships. 00:08:01
I went all around the world. 00:08:05
I met a lot of people. 00:08:06
It was exciting. 00:08:07
Then I decided that I had to move 00:08:08
to the passenger ships 00:08:10
to meet more people, 00:08:12
because you are coming close to the people 00:08:13
which are going to sail with you. 00:08:15
You can see more exciting things 00:08:17
with the cruise ships, 00:08:19
because you visit the most beautiful 00:08:21
and exciting places around the world. 00:08:24
It's a very nice restaurant here. 00:08:27
They have a very good service 00:08:29
and a very good food. 00:08:30
Compared to five-star hotels. 00:08:32
Trust me, I tried to behave, 00:08:36
but it's not so easy. 00:08:37
You cannot sail directly 00:08:40
with the passenger ships. 00:08:41
You need the experience which you get. 00:08:42
You learn traveling around the world, 00:08:44
and then when you move, 00:08:46
you can move to the passenger ships, 00:08:48
which is, let's say, 00:08:50
the most important, 00:08:51
because you carry on passengers 00:08:52
and it's very important 00:08:54
to have good experience to sail with. 00:08:55
There is no cost for human life. 00:08:59
When you work, 00:09:03
you work to express yourself. 00:09:06
Not to do the work because you have to, 00:09:09
but because you like to do. 00:09:11
So that's the big deal. 00:09:13
If you don't like what you do, 00:09:15
better don't do it. 00:09:16
Do something else, 00:09:17
especially for this professional matter. 00:09:18
For me, it's not a job. 00:09:21
It's a passion. 00:09:23
I'm paid to do the thing 00:09:24
I like the most in the world. 00:09:26
Sometimes I feel a bit ashamed 00:09:28
at the end of the month 00:09:30
when they give me my salary. 00:09:31
Sometimes I ask myself, 00:09:32
why are they giving me my salary? 00:09:33
To have a man who does a job 00:09:35
that is not common, 00:09:38
who is seen as a semi-hero. 00:09:40
It may seem very difficult 00:09:47
to see this relationship from the outside, 00:09:49
one day yes, one day no, almost. 00:09:51
But in my opinion it's very beautiful 00:09:54
because it never goes into the monotony 00:09:56
of everyday life. 00:09:58
So you always live a new emotion. 00:10:00
Like the return, 00:10:03
apart from the first week 00:10:05
where you have to put everything in order, 00:10:06
it's a restart. 00:10:09
So it's something that always goes on, 00:10:12
almost always new. 00:10:15
When he comes back, he tells. 00:10:18
He tells a lot. 00:10:21
We don't have the problem 00:10:22
to spend the evening together. 00:10:24
We don't know what to talk about 00:10:26
after talking about work, 00:10:28
about the day, 00:10:30
which is always the same, 00:10:31
because it's full of stories, 00:10:32
of friends, 00:10:34
of meetings, 00:10:35
of landscapes, 00:10:36
photos. 00:10:38
This photo shows 00:10:39
that on board there is not only the ship. 00:10:41
We take care of everything 00:10:44
that is around life. 00:10:46
This is an aperitif, 00:10:49
one of many aperitifs, 00:10:51
together with the guitar. 00:10:53
This is beautiful 00:10:55
because there was a Frenchman, 00:10:56
a Dutchman, 00:10:58
an Italian and a Belgian, 00:10:59
so all different nationalities. 00:11:01
With the guitar it's very difficult 00:11:04
because to find the song to sing. 00:11:06
This ship was blocked 00:11:08
for a couple of days 00:11:10
and he asked us to pass it 00:11:12
here on the nose 00:11:14
to break the ice 00:11:16
to be able to let it pass, 00:11:17
to leave, to unlock it. 00:11:19
My first time alone 00:11:23
was in the Baltic Sea, 00:11:25
in the sunset, 00:11:27
it was winter, 00:11:29
so there was sun, moon, sky, 00:11:31
you feel like masters of the world 00:11:34
because everything under your command, 00:11:37
everything passes by you, 00:11:40
but at the same time 00:11:42
in the middle of this scenario 00:11:44
of the sea, the sky, 00:11:46
the mountains, 00:11:48
this scenario of the sea, 00:11:50
the sky, the sun, 00:11:52
you feel small, small, small. 00:11:54
The first time I had to manoeuvre 00:12:02
for another ship, 00:12:04
I called the commander, 00:12:06
I didn't know what to do. 00:12:08
I called the commander, 00:12:10
the ship was in danger, 00:12:12
what should I do? 00:12:14
We learn this in theory at school, 00:12:16
Zoe, you are the captain, 00:12:20
don't forget, we are always here, 00:12:22
we intervene if there is a problem. 00:12:25
One, you supervise everything 00:12:28
that happens at the bridge 00:12:30
at the navigation level. 00:12:32
Two, you give the bar codes, 00:12:34
the road codes, 00:12:36
based on the information 00:12:38
coming from the map and from the radar. 00:12:40
I have been a professor 00:12:43
at the Navigation School in Vers 00:12:45
for about three years. 00:12:47
In English, the bar codes, please. 00:12:49
Starboard five. 00:12:51
I chose to do this 00:12:53
because my wife was pregnant 00:12:55
and as a sailor, well, it's not easy. 00:12:57
We were away from home 00:12:59
and I really wanted to participate 00:13:01
in the whole pregnancy, 00:13:03
the birth and certainly 00:13:05
the first years of our baby's life. 00:13:07
But three years away from the sea, 00:13:09
we are sailors, 00:13:11
it's not possible, 00:13:13
it's really very difficult 00:13:15
to adapt to life on land. 00:13:17
For a sailor, 00:13:19
the freedom that we have 00:13:21
in our job as sailors 00:13:23
I miss a lot. 00:13:25
There are a lot of people who say, 00:13:27
oh yes, the romanticism of navigation, 00:13:29
the romantic sailor, it's over. 00:13:31
That's not true. 00:13:33
Just look at the eyes of the students 00:13:35
who come here for the first time 00:13:37
on our boat. 00:13:39
It's more than a discovery, 00:13:41
it's really, they get where they want to go. 00:13:43
On course, 040. 00:13:45
Thank you. 00:13:47
Steady as she goes. 00:13:49

If I had to give a piece of advice to someone who doesn't know whether to do 00:18:19
economics or marine sciences, 00:18:25
he has to be sure 00:18:28
that he likes the world and the sea, 00:18:31
because then he becomes, well, perhaps now Antonella will get angry, 00:18:35
and becomes a second wife. 00:18:38
He has to be sure that he wants to do it 00:18:40
and that he wants to come here, 00:18:43
because it's the most beautiful thing in the world, 00:18:45
the most beautiful job. 00:18:47
Position? 00:19:16
Heading for pilot station is 308. 00:19:17
308, ok, thank you. 00:19:22
Distance, one and a half mile. 00:19:25
One and a half mile, thank you. 00:19:26
