Testimonial from trainee
"As a daughter of a former captain, I have always been interested in the maritime sector. The first time I heard specifically about shipping I knew what I wanted to do with my future.
Shipping is not a job, it’s a lifestyle. No two days are alike but everyday includes contact with people from all over the world where decisions has to be taken while the supply and demand for ships and cargos are constantly changing.
This means that something is happening all the time and the market can change so fast which makes a career in shipping so challenging and at the same time interesting. Since joining Ultrabulk’s trainee program I have learned something new everyday and been in contact with people from all over the world since the first day I started."
