hello Dear,

Merchant navy is a fleet of ships that is responsible for transporting heavy goods from one country to another. It is one of the essential parts of international trade as most of the import and export are done through ships. The starting salary for those in the merchant navy can be anywhere from Rs.15,000/- to 8 lakhs per month. Deck cadets can get paid Rs.20,000/-to Rs. 30,000/- per month and Deck Officers get paid Rs.1, 50,000/- monthly. The pay scale can also be different and depend on the company persons are employed with. All crew members and officers are provided with free meals on board the ships. Some like the senior officers are also allowed to bring their families on board. The highest salary in the Merchant Navy is for the post of Captain which is around Rs. 8,65,000 to 20,00,000 per month.

Good Luck
