For the final company visits of the trip, the group traveled to Bernhardt Shulte and Columbia Ship Management to learn more about aspects of being a seafarer worker onboard a ship, as well as working in a ship management company. During the visits, we learned how important communication, safety, and teamwork are for running a ship smoothly. Both of these companies had similar models where they manage the crews of ships that are owned by high-net worth individuals and companies that may not have the resources to manage an entire crew. They explained how they handle crew training, ship maintenance, and ship management. One part of the Columbia Ship Management visit that I found particularly interesting was that many of the people working in data analytics positions were actually engineering majors in college, and do little to no actual engineering in their day-to-day lives. These visits gave me a better understanding of the hard work that goes into ship management and life onboard. They also highlighted the wide range of career paths available to those with engineering degrees. Seeing how diverse skills are applied in the maritime industry made me appreciate the value of adaptability and interdisciplinary knowledge.
