Merchant Navy Career is one of the most professionally sound & satisfying career which any young
person would like to acquire in his life. This career has been primarily male oriented, although, legally
there is no ban on girls taking up this profession. However, over the years it has become very clear that
the girls are not willing to choose this profession even in the countries where there is not much of
disparity or inhibitions between men and women working in various professions. In India, so far there
have been only handful of girls who have decided to choose this career and it is yet to be seen whether
they find it satisfactory and to their liking.
