Hello Anju

Of course, you need to have a normal color vision. Also, the requirements are stricter for Deck hands/ dual career, while for Engineering / Radio the norms are more relaxed. ... (Marine Engineering) degree course, distance vision (unaided 0.5 (6/12) in each eye or 0.67 (6/9) in better eye and 0.33 (6/18) in other eye.

Merchant navy is one of the best profession for people with a zeal to travel around the world and apart from the sense of adventure the officers also get a handsome salary for themselves . As far as the eyesight requirements goes it should be

For deck cadet

6/6 for good eye

6/9 for bad eye

For engine cadet

6/9 in one eye and 6/18 in the other

6/12 in both the eyes

Apart from the eyesight requirement the profession also demands a sound health of the worker . Other defects are like colour blindness also make the candidate unfit fot the the job

All the best .
