With the “Day of the Seafarer 2015” fast approaching (June 25th), this year the International Maritime Organization shifted its focus to maritime education. While most people go to work in offices, factories and shops, it’s a different picture for seafarers: an office can be a hundred thousand-ton oil tanker or a cargo ship navigating the world’s oceans with beautiful landscapes.

Slurpy Studios were commissioned to produce a 2-minute animation to help show how the multi-faceted maritime world offers a series of rich and fulfilling career opportunities for young people, both at sea and ashore.
