I was given a lot of responsibility and ownership of tasks, this responsibility exponentially accelerated my learning experience during the internship and helped me improve my knowledge of the shipping industry, academic grades and even influenced my personal development. I feel confident in saying that Maersk Tankers provided me with the best settings to reach my full potential during my internship."
