The Young Maritime Professionals Forum provides guidance to Nautilus Council on the challenges facing young people in the shipping industry and on the issues that matter to them.

The next meeting will be held during the Union's General Meeting 2019 in Rotterdam 8-10 October.

'A good platform for younger members to discuss our specific issues, and understand how Nautilus fits into the wider Union movement' — a Nautilus YMP Forum member's perspective.

In particular, the Nautilus Forum provides an opportunity for young members to engage in discussions on the specific challenges facing young workers in the maritime profession; on how to promote the maritime career to young people; to identify the organising needs of young members and to encourage their participation in the Union’s activities; and to provide guidance to the Council on these issues.

Open to all members under 35 (UK, NL, CH).

Members who want to register for the next meeting of the YMP Forum should email ymp@nautilusint.org.
