Hi

As per your question As per Seamen’s employment agency order the retirement age is 60 yrs. This rule

also provided discretion to the Director – Seamen’s employment agency , to allow employment of

seamen over 60 years aged , but not exceeding 65, provided the ship owner accepts the engagement of

the seaman and therefore the prescribed medical authority declares him medically ‘Fit’ before

engagement.

However, along side the advantages of merchant navy, there are risks also . The grass isn't all green. We

witness situations involving operational failures resulting in business loss and private injuries which

could scar us for a lifetime and leave us unfit to be stumped again.

The maximum age for retirement is 60.

But I've see some exceptions. It's all depends on your medical & fitness . There are some officer's/

Captain who are still serving and are 60+.

Hope helpful.
