There are various prospects for an individual that are related to Marine engineering. Public and private shipping companies are the main hirers of Marine engineers. As this is global thus the expectancy level is high from companies about the hiring of a candidate. Navy, engine production firms, shipbuilding and designing firms, research bodies are some of the other firms where marine engineers are highly in demand. Marine engineers can also be employed in different foreign and Indian shopping companies and with the port and harbour departments are they are in huge demand in today’s scenario. There is a huge opportunity for future graduates who are willing to work portside as there are various recent developments in moving natural gas from ports to the pipeline and it’s an excellent job prospect.

Marine engineers are in great demand in the oil and gas industry, where they are specialised in designing and building pipelines and other required equipment.
