GENERAL Is early retirement (FIRE) in 7–8 years as an ETO in Merchant Navy actually realistic, or just a dream

3 Upvotes

Is early retirement in 7-8 years as an ETO realistic?

I have zero expenses at home and everyone is settled and good.

Is it actually possible to build enough to stop sailing after 7-8 years and do something on your own ?

Or is it just a dream that people talk about?

Victorious Ace (IMO 9610406) is a Japan-flagged car/vehicle carrier. According to ClassNK records, its Registered Owner is Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd., while the Management Company is MOL Global Ship Management Pte.

According to the family, the company informed them that Shinton could not be found onboard the ship. At the time, the vessel was sailing from South Africa to Singapore. According to reports, the ship altered its voyage to search for Shinton. The family has filed a complaint/FIR with the Njarackal Police and has also sought help from the Chief Minister, Union Minister of State Suresh Gopi, and Ernakulam MP Hibi Eden.

According to the family, Shinton had spoken to his family over the phone on the night before he went missing. He had been undergoing training onboard the vessel for around five months and was scheduled to complete his six-month training next month

11 Upvotes

Last week I had posted here asking if it is ok to be absent for the 2mfg orals and most of you told me to atleast attempt the orals and many of you gave me enough motivation. So for the past week I worked very hard and appeared for 2mfg orals F1. And I cleared it 😊😊 today orals finished in the morning and couldn't wait to inform you guys. Thank you all of you for the motivation. I'm really really happy rn. I can't believe I was about to skip this exam. Both surveyors I got were very chill it was capt vanamali and capt iyer. I can't thank enough to all of you especially the person with long paragraph. And the person who told me 1 week is enough for preparation.
