The sophisticated systems of today’s yachts, mega-yachts and super-yachts are quite different. They require highly trained technicians with specialized knowledge to understand, maintain and repair them. It has created an overwhelming demand for well-trained marine technicians worldwide. Marine engineering jobs are expected to rise steadily through 2020, and the estimated median salary of marine engineers in the country was $80,000 in 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
