What is it exactly that I do at sea? (Part 3/3)     Over the past week or so, I have been sharing snippets of #LifeAtSea to show my main responsibilities as a Deck Officer onboard a foreign-going Tanker.     If you haven't had the chance to read through Part 1 & 2, here's your sign!     C: Routine & Operational duties (Rank Specific) Routine & Operational duties differ with ranks. Typically, the Chief Officer would be in charge for all Deck related maintenance & Cargo related duties. The 2nd Officer would be responsible for maintenance of all Bridge Equipment / Navigational Passage Planning / Medical related duties incl. maintaining our onboard Hospital. The 3rd Officer would be responsible for the maintenance of all Life-saving Appliances (LSA) & Fire-fighting appliances (FFA) In recent trends however, owners/managers have strategize a re-deployment of responsibilities. The responsibility of LSA/FFA are shared between the 2nd & 3rd Officer. There are a select few whom choose to provide additional officer(s) so as to lessen the work load of Deck Officers onboard. Lately, I have been preparing myself for the 2nd Officer role - a step up that personally seems to be pretty nerve wrecking but I’ve been blessed to have such a generous 2nd Officer onboard whom tirelessly guide me through. Here are my FAQs! : Qns: Having a CoC Class 3 (also commonly referred to as OOW Unlimited or 2nd Mate’s ) would mean that you are deemed competent by your Flag Administration to sail as a 2nd Officer – so why wouldn’t companies promote you directly to a 2nd Officer / why does it take time for you to be promoted from a 3rd to a 2nd Officer? Ans: In my opinion - similar to roles ashore, having the required qualification does not guarantee you a role which demands a higher responsibility. Officers often sign on after relatively lengthy period of time ashore since their cadetship (For their certifications, exams & courses etc.) With such critical (Navigational related) responsibilities, practically, it would only make sense to allow time for the officer to “settle down” & “refresh” This does not, in any way, mean that we are not competent to carry out the duties of a 2nd Officer – but rather reducing the risk of human error while we develop confidence, fine-tune our individual work processes & collect practical experience prior to taking on a more critical role. Qns: If Deck Officers typically have 2 x 4 hours Navigational Bridge duties a day (At Sea) – where do you find the time to complete other assigned duties, participate in onboard drills / trainings, complete administrative paper works, engaged in social activities, have sufficient shut-eye and personal time? Ans: In an attempt to engage more of my connections - I think I shall reserve this for my fellow seafaring sisters & brothers.
