Ready to advance your career or explore new opportunities? Our Sea to Shore Programme offers BSM seafarers a chance to gain valuable experience in shore-based roles while staying connected to the maritime industry. We understand that career paths evolve, some may be looking to transition ashore permanently, while others may simply wish to experience a shore-based role before setting sail again.
Whether you're looking to explore shore-based roles, pick up new skills, or embrace opportunities that fit your life—be it starting a family, caring for loved ones, or searching for a change. Through a short-term placement in our shore-based offices, you'll gain valuable skills, work alongside international colleagues, and expand your professional network. Use this opportunity to try a career on shore!

We offer two pathways under the Sea-Shore Programme, designed to support seafarers looking to gain shore-based experience:
For seafarers who wish to move into a permanent shore-based role but lack prior shore experience. This structured programme provides the necessary training and exposure, with the same benefits as regular staff.
We are committed to hiring at least one seafarer with no shore experience at each of our office annually!
For seafarers looking for a temporary shore assignment, this option allows you to work on a contract basis for a minimum of three months. Food allowances and accommodations will be provided in line with the local economy, and you’ll gain valuable shore-based experience before deciding on your next step.
Regardless of the programme you choose, each role comes with tailored learning objectives, mentorship, and performance assessments by your team leader. Since these are shore-based roles with international collaboration, fluency in spoken and written English is essential. All BSM policies and procedures apply, ensuring a structured and professional learning experience.
At the end of your programme, you can either continue ashore in a full-time role (if available) or return to sea for another contract. The choice is yours!
You can submit your CV via our BSM Careers on Shore page, keep an eye out for job posting which indicate “Open to seafarers without shore experience ” under Job Requirements. We will review your application and check with your supervisors on your performance history. If you are suitable, you will be contacted for an interview.
