Who are the young people today, at the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, who choose to continue our admirable maritime and shipping tradition on the seas of the world? Which young individuals consciously decide to connect their future, their professional prospects, their dreams, with the sea?

The publication "I Choose Shipping" presents the first comprehensive, multi-dimensional recording of the anthropological and sociological profile, motivations, and professional orientation of all young people living in Greece who have recently chosen to attend one of the educational institutions of secondary or higher education in our country that offer maritime and shipping studies.

The comprehensive collection of data on the choices, desires, ambitions, and visions of the new generation of seafarers contains valuable information that highlights unexplored truths, debunking myths and unfounded barriers. It is a valuable planning tool for the state, shipowners, those responsible for maritime and shipping education and employment, maritime executives, and the officers - future seafarers.
