The Seafaring Profession:

The Ranks in the Ship

O When you think of famous sailors, what

comes to mind are Christopher Columbus,

Ferdinand Magellan and Amerigo

Vespucci who reigned our history books

with stories of their voyages and

discoveries.

A seaworthy ship is one that is

sufficiently manned.

For a voyage to be successful, every member of the

crew and the captain must be in sync towards their

goal. Teamwork is the priority on board. This is why

every rank in the ship matters.

In order for a crew member to be qualified in their

respective posts, one must :

O complete

the necessary

maritime training first

and take exams to

gauge his knowledge

of his position and

responsibilities.

O The requirements for

safe manning are

also included

in sources concerning

STCW (Standards of

Training,

Certification, and

Watchkeeping).
