Jobs In Maritime’s Post

Turn your 5-yearly LSA in anchorage into success. Ship managers often seek for multiple services during a short anchorage stay. While the job could finish in one day, there are important things for every technical superintendent to think about when planning these tasks: 🔹Davits:  Most importantly, have the davits operated and checked by the crew. Nothing is more annoying than having technicians, load test equipment, etc., all onboard, and the davits are NOT working. 🔹Divers:  If divers are operating in the area, lifeboat launching is PROHIBITED for their safety. 🔹Bunkering or provisions delivery:  To prevent delays schedule vessel bunkering or provision activities BEFORE or AFTER the load test if they might interfere with lifeboat operations. 🔹Communication with Classification Society (CS):  Clear communication with the service company and the Classification Society is vital for load test procedures. Misunderstandings with surveyors can cause TIME WASTAGE during load tests. 🔹Weather: Always take into account weather conditions too and avoid conditions that can endanger the crew and potentially DAMAGE the boat.

Can anyone tell me why Deck Officers getting paid higher than Marin Engineers? Can anyone explain . There must be a special reason what makes deck officers are so special onboard . Is it because engineers hands are dirty makes the salary lower than deck officers? Please anyone explain about shipboard rank hierarchy or is there any written in any regulations? What makes the deck officers superior than engineers? Till deck officers are getting paid higher than engineers? Just wondering wether the ship can operate without engineers or not. Or is it because some engineer accepting the lower salary even they know they are underpaid? What I can advice is Dear Engineers do not accept low rate than DPO , ask for equal salary with them. If we united we can make changes. #marineengineers #offshorevessel #itf

Able Seaman: Essential Skills for Deck Operations The role of an Able Seaman (AB) is fundamental to the smooth and efficient operation of a ship's deck. Able Seamen are versatile and skilled members of the deck crew, responsible for a wide range of tasks that ensure the vessel's safety and operational readiness. My experience in the maritime industry has shown me how crucial the role of an AB is and the essential skills required to excel in this position. An Able Seaman's duties are diverse and demanding, requiring a strong foundation in seamanship. This includes tasks such as mooring and anchoring, handling cargo, operating deck machinery, and performing routine maintenance. ABs must be proficient in knot tying, splicing, and rigging, as these skills are vital for securing the ship and its cargo. During my time at sea, I have witnessed the expertise and efficiency of ABs as they deftly handle lines and equipment, ensuring that operations proceed smoothly and safely. One of the key responsibilities of an AB is watchkeeping. This involves maintaining a vigilant lookout for other vessels, navigational hazards, and any signs of distress or emergencies. ABs must have sharp observational skills and a keen sense of situational awareness to detect and respond to potential dangers. I have seen how the watchkeeping duties of ABs are integral to preventing collisions and ensuring the safe navigation of the vessel. Safety is a paramount concern in maritime operations, and ABs play a crucial role in upholding safety standards on board. They are trained in firefighting, first aid, and emergency response procedures, enabling them to act swiftly and effectively in crises. The ability to remain calm and composed under pressure is essential for an AB, as their actions can significantly impact the outcome of emergency situations. My experiences at sea have underscored the importance of these skills, as I have observed ABs responding to emergencies with professionalism and competence. The maritime industry is continually evolving, and so are the expectations for Able Seamen. Modern ABs are expected to be proficient with advanced technologies and systems, such as electronic navigation aids and communication equipment. One emerging trend in the maritime industry is the increasing emphasis on environmental sustainability. ABs are now more involved in implementing and adhering to environmental protection measures, such as waste management and pollution prevention. Reflecting on my experiences, the role of an Able Seaman is both challenging and rewarding. Their expertise and dedication are essential for the efficient and safe operation of a vessel. To employers seeking skilled maritime professionals, my background in nautical science and practical experience working with deck crews position me well to understand and support your needs.
