Exit opportunities depends on the strength of your firm/team and your own capabilities. My seniors found it fairly easy to transition to in-house, so I don't think you will have any issues there. Shipping practice can give you wide exposure (if you are in a strong team with a lot of work coming your team's way) as you will be exposed to many other pratice areas as well, so transiting into gen lit/arbi won't be an issue either. There are a few good international firms for shipping too, so that is an extra option also after 1-3PQE.
But if you are only able to get a TC under a band 4 practitioner, don't be disheartened. Just go and then try to jump after your TC. You will be able to have a very strong career in shipping if you join any of the 3 firms that I mentioned. Can add PDLegal to the mix too.
All the best! Glad to help.

Jlc
Does anyone have any information about the JLC-designate training that is held from Sep-Dec? Understand that it is held concurrently with the Part B course - what are the working hours like, workload, and renumeration of the JLC-designate programme? Thanks in advance  Any other general advice/comments about the JLC programme welcome too.

If you get such an opportunity, by all means do shipping. Working under a strong shipping partner gives you more exposure to "interesting" cases too. If not shipping might get boring real quick.
O&B is very good. High pay awaits those who survive and WLB/Culture is much better than the top b4 firm for shipping litigation.
Helmsmann need FCH/JLC... but Ian is a v solid shipping litigator. Pays well too.
JTJB is aite. Excellent culture though. They'll train you very well. Pay is low.

Helmsman only takes FCH or JLC? Seriously?

generally yes but not all SCs are equal. some SCs have less active practices than non-SC litigators. for reasons such as e.g. near retirement or coasting along with 1 or 2 cases per year, or resting on their laurels and letting the more junior underlings do most of the work or client sourcing.
every team should be scoped out and assessed on their own merits.
