I have had this problem too and managed to fix it. I just can't remember for sure which file caused the problem.

Anyway, go to your saved games folder for that career, probably something like:

\My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\"Captain Name"\

One of the files there contains an invalid date. I'm pretty sure it was one of the Log_*.cfg files, most likely Log_0.cfg in my case. Those files contain dates in the format:

Date=19390801

For whatever reason one of the dates was messed up and, if I recall correctly, read "Date=00000000", or something equally silly.

Fixing this line manually to show the correct date fixed the problem. Of course, figuring out what the correct date should be might be a problem. Just enter a date close enough if you're not sure. These dates are used to calculate the time spent at sea.
