Seafaring for beginners: Cadets master life on the ocean!
An exciting new report that looks at the world of seafaring for trainees focuses on 14 cadets who are completing their maritime training on the container ship “Chicago Express” in the Hapag-Lloyd fleet. As ZDF reports, it goes on an 11-week journey that leads from Wilhelmshaven across the Mediterranean and along the US east coast back. With an impressive length of 336 meters and a capacity for over 8,600 containers, the “Chicago Express” is a real heavyweight in sea freight.
The report gives a deep insight into the everyday life of the aspiring seafarers, who are trained in navigation, engine maintenance and teamwork. They not only have to deal with technical challenges, but also with emotional stress such as homesickness and exhaustion. The tight space on board presents another obstacle that the cadets must deal with. For example, Cadet Selina becomes active in steering the ship under the captain's guidance when she leaves Genoa. However, it is welcome that shore leave is limited to Fos, where the cadets use the leisure area, while exploring the city awaits in Barcelona.
Personal development and challenges
The report documents not only the technical skills that the aspiring seafarers learn, but also their personal development. It becomes clear how important self-organization and teamwork are in this professional field. To illustrate the various facets of the maritime professional field, planet-beruf.de provides valuable insights into the many professions related to shipping and logistics. This shows that the relevance of shipping is not only high for international trade, but also offers many exciting career prospects.
Overall, the report aims to give viewers a better understanding of the vocation of seafaring. The emotional and physical challenges bring the group together and promote valuable skills that go far beyond what textbooks can teach.
For anyone interested in the fascination of seafaring, the experiences of these young trainees are a stimulating and educational experience that will make you excited to watch. Further information about the report can be found on TV Spielfilm.
