Cadet Sea Report lets cadets and mariners search any vessel by name or IMO number and read honest, anonymous, moderated reviews about pay, safety, training, workload, and life aboard.
Reading reviews is free and requires no account. Write a review after a quick verification.
Find a ship by name or IMO number. We check our database first; you can suggest a ship if it is missing.
See structured ratings and two scores: a Cadet Shipping Score and an Overall Mariner Score.
Verified cadets and mariners can post. Every review is moderated for privacy and safety before going public.
Engine Cadet, Summer 2026
MV Northern AuroraSolid training rotation with supportive engineers. Fair mess and decent port calls. Watch schedule was reasonable and safety drills were taken seriously.
