Seychelles — An Island Nation Dependent on the Sea
The Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean where maritime activity is central to the economy. Port Victoria on Mahe is the country's main commercial port, handling container cargo, fishing vessels, and cruise ships. Seychelles' tourism industry — driven by yacht charters, dive operations, and island-hopping ferries — employs many maritime workers. The country's fishing fleet, including the industrial tuna fishing sector, is a major employer. All seafarers working in Seychelles waters require STCW certification.
Maritime Expert Solutions provides online STCW training for Seychelles seafarers and maritime professionals. Whether you work on a yacht charter in the inner islands, a fishing vessel out of Victoria, or a ferry connecting Mahe and Praslin, you can complete your internationally recognized certification entirely online.
