YOUNGSHIP YOUNGSHIP
YoungShip was formed to promote competence and network development, and promote young professionals in the global maritime industry. We also promote equality and social responsibility.
The Liverpool branch was initiated by myself, Matt Treadwell who was a former board member of YoungShip Oslo. YoungShip Oslo has been a great inspiration for the Maritime community in Norway and realised the great opportunity Liverpool also had to help promote the current maritime expertise as well as its maritime heritage (over 750 years!).
FANTASTIC RESPONSE After carrying out meetings with various companies since September 2011, the response from the local Maritime community has been fantastic and we would like to thank everyone who has been involved in the development so far! We would also like to make a special thank you to the Mersey Maritime Group for their support and facilitating the YoungShip Liverpool launch.
GLOBAL CONTACTS YoungShip currently has over 2500 members with branches in Norway, Singapore, Brazil, Cyprus and now the UK! The work carried out by all the local board members is voluntary and any sponsorship/ membership fees goes directly into helping the young generation of tomorrow develop.
20 YEAR GLOBAL MARITIME INDUSTRY AGE GAP At the moment there is a 20 year age gap within the Maritime Industry globally with experience retiring to the new younger talent/professionals coming in.
Therefore one key area for YoungShip is to initiate and promote mentoring programmes with the experience from the industry and the ambitious young generations who will follow in their footsteps. Another area is to promote the shipping industry to the educational institutions from a young perspective and make more people aware of the career opportunities which are out there.
OTHER INDUSTRY CHALLENGES In addition to the age gap, the shipping industry at the moment faces a number of other challenges to reduce fuel consumption, air emissions, bio-fouling and general costs which is why innovation is an important area for investment.
WIND INDUSTRY One area in which a lot of investment has been shown is within the wind sector which is why we will continue discussions with the Wind Energy Network. Although this is a
popular topic there is a limited source of information out there to provide a good understanding of the challenges as well as the benefits of choosing this source of energy to the shipping industry. With that said it also identifies a number of opportunities for young people to look into and take control of going forward.
THE FUTURE GENERATION YoungShip shall encourage, motivate, innovate, inspire and aspire the future generation in the maritime industry and we thank the Wind Energy Network for allowing us an insight into this sector which we will continue to work together on and explore.
