Myanmar Seafarers, Fleet-Ready

Myanmar has a seafaring tradition stretching back generations, and its seafarers — many trained through the Myanmar Maritime University and Yangon's marine training institutes — have long been the quiet backbone of Japanese and other Asian-operated fleets. Myanmar ratings and officers are valued for loyalty, sea sense and calm professionalism, at wage scales that remain among Asia's most competitive.
