Abstract

Previous work at the Merchant Marine Academy of Macedonia was carried out regarding the engine cadets that have fulfilled the first on board training voyage. The same survey took place regarding the engine cadets that have fulfilled also the second on board training voyage. In the present paper a merging of the two different surveys is conducted in order to draw a conclusion concerning all the cadets. In the present study an investigation takes place on how Cadets can benefit using Social Media on board during the training voyage and implications are presented.
