Maritime Economics Grade 10

R95.00

The purpose of this study note is to assist young people who have aspirations of joining the Maritime Sector, especially those who are from landlocked countries and disadvantaged backgrounds. I have tried to breakdown complex information to make it easy for them to understand, when they are studying without a teacher, especially during COVID-19 challenges. To be able to do this kind of work, I tapped out from the experiences of ship Masters and teams, people who have spent their lives at sea. The Marine Environment is covered by a lot of practical work e.g., Navigation, Communication, Seamanship and Meteorology. It is therefore mandatory for me to thank everybody who provided ideas to the compilation of this note. Included, is a plethora of Websites and Articles from recognized writers and scholars. References show how their work their is appreciated and recommended to the learners. To all of you colleagues, I thank you, I would not have known everything, with your support, we contributed in building a strong Maritime Sector
