“What would I learn If I could start over as a Deck Cadet?”🚢 The first time you step up on board a ship - the most exciting moment for each seafarer. You were studying for years just to have an access to the terminal gate! Crazy, yeah? 😂 Knots 🪢, basic navigation 🧭, theory of ship’s construction - that’s all subjects I still remember from the college before joining of Sailing Training Vessel as a Cadet. Question: “Was there enough hands-on knowledge for the first months on board?”. No! Studying for a profession at university provides a foundation of knowledge and skills, but may not fully prepare you for the practical, hands-on experience of a real job. Following areas of basic knowledge should be covered and won’t let put you upside-down 👌🏻⤵️ ▫️Definitions of all Maritime Conventions and it’s structure ▫️Ship’s construction - what’s the Panama lead, bollard ▫️ Abbreviations like ECR, EG room, CPA, TCPA, ▫️FFE and LSA equipment ( Fixed and portable fire extinguishing system, Lifeboats, Lliferafts, fire hoses etc) ▫️Safety precautions during ship’s operations ▫️ Lifeboat equipment ▫️ Dangerous works types / Basic definitions of Risk assessment ▫️ Navigational and GMDSS equipment Do you have something to add?

🚢 **Standing by for Mooring Operations: Ensuring Safety and Efficiency** 🚢 I recently had the opportunity to be involved in mooring operations on board a ship, and it highlighted the critical importance of teamwork, preparation, and safety in this essential maritime process. Here is some keys to keep on mind when going for mooring operation as a third mate or cadet 🔹 **Preparation is Key:** Proper preparation is vital to the success of mooring operations. The crew prepare the mooring rope for easy and fast slack when sending the heaving lines, taking into account environmental factors such as wind and which side along side and mooring plans. 🔹 **Clear Communication:** Effective communication between the ship's crew and shore personnel or tugboats is essential. Usually it is done through the pilot and you receive your orders from your captain and dont take any action without the master order except (if it affects the safety of the crew )It enables coordinated actions, minimizes risks, and ensures a smooth operation. Standardized hand signals or radio communication protocols help facilitate this process. 🔹 **Safety First:** Safety is paramount during mooring operations. Crew members wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and adhere to established safety procedures. Always understand the snap back zones and where to stand and danger places to avoid for yourself and your crew ( safety first ) 🔹 **Vigilance and Readiness:** When standing by, the crew remains alert and ready to respond to instructions or emergencies. They maintain situational awareness, exercise teamwork, and stay focused on their assigned tasks to ensure a seamless operation. Mooring operations demand a high level of professionalism, experience, and coordination. They are a testament to the maritime industry's commitment to safety and efficiency. I'm grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a crucial aspect of ship operations. #MooringOperations #MaritimeIndustry #Teamwork #SafetyFirst #Professionalism

The concept of “bums on seats” refers to the practice of hiring individuals solely to fill a position without considering their qualifications, experience, or suitability for the role. In the maritime industry, the effect of hiring “bums on seats” can have serious consequences for the safety, efficiency and overall success of a ship’s operations. #MaritimeSafety #CrewCompetence #ShipSafety #MaritimeIndustry #CrewWelfare #SeafarerSafety #MaritimeTraining #CrewManagement #ShippingIndustry #SafetyAtSea Find out more in this 1-minute read:

Seafarers have, maintain, and develop an extraordinary range of skills over the course of a career. These are things many onshore take for granted, yet they are critical for maintaining an effective onboard team and a safe (and working) ship. Keep up the good work. #shipping #seafarers

Ship to Shore !!! The most general progression for a Chief Engineer is to become a Superintendent , if he wants to quit sailing. Many of my friends became Supdt. , gave their best shot for 6 months and then joined back on Ship. Once you fail, your chances of taking risks reduces. My friend who joined back on Ship, said " Brother shore job is not mean't for me". One bad experience and we give up on our dreams to shift to shore. Well, now let us try and solve the problem by helping seafarers make well informed decisions. For Marine Engineers, this FREE Course will help you make better decisions: https://lnkd.in/gEpYvn6S For Deck Officers, this FREE Course will help you make better decisions: https://lnkd.in/gFWT2u7S Capt. Gaurav Rana helped us immensely by sharing his knowledge and making over 60 videos with us over a period of last 4 months , with a vision that "no seafarer follows what others are doing , looks for options and choices that suits him the best, makes well informed decisions and moves ahead in life." Looking forward to Industry experts for diving deep into the course and sharing their feedbacks. #shiptoshore #shippingindustry #maritimeindustry
