SHIPBOARD ORGANIZATIONAL PLAN

 

 

THE CREW

The ship's crew consist of all those on board with the purpose of taking the ship out to sea. From the highest to the lowest ranks, each is required to perform their respective duties to the highest standard in order to maintain a safe and efficient voyage.

 

THE MASTER

The Captain (or Master) of the ship is the final authority of the ship and is the highest rank that one can achieve onboard. He shoulders total responsibility and oversees all shipboard operations. The Captain is in command of a merchant ship at all times and regulates the proper daily transactions and handles the legal affairs on maritime issues. In the unlikely event that the Master is not present on board, the Chief Mate is assumed to be interim in charge for shipboard operations.

 

MASTER’S RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY

 

  1. Implementing the safety and environmental protection policy of the company
  2. Motivating the crew in the observation of the policy
  3. Issuing appropriate orders and instructions in a clear and simple manner
  4. Verifying that specified requirements are observed
  5. Reviewing the Safety and Management System and reporting its deficiencies to the shore based management:

 

  • In implementing safety policies on board, the master will be guided by company policies, international, national and local laws and regulations, but it is he who bears full responsibility for implementing and operating within the safety policies on board

 

  • The master should discharge his responsibilities by motivating all personnel on board and are able to contribute to the elevation of safety standards on board

CHIEF OFFICER / CHIEF MATE

 

The Chief Officer occupies the second responsible position after the Captain of the vessel. He is the executive head of the deck department and executes the order of the Master at the operational level (although the rank itself is a more managerial position). He supervises the vessel’s crew and looks after the various deck operations which include, but not limited to the daily ongoings of the deck as per the work schedule as well as the cargo operations to be carried out while in port.

 

The Chief Mate prioritizes the security and safe functioning of the vessel and is responsible for the welfare of crew and passengers (if on a passenger ship) on board. Additionally, the correct working of the hull, the accommodation section, the cargo gearing, the security appliances and the fire prevention equipment is managed by the Chief Officer. Chief among all of his duties is the safe navigation of the ship for which he is an Officer of the Watch (OOW) for the navigational watches between 0400-0800 hrs and 1600-2000 hrs. Already burdened with a lot of work in port, the Chief Mate usually does not keep port watches as he is constantly overseeing the cargo work.

 

SECOND OFFICER/ SECOND MATE

 

The 2nd Mate is an OOW responsible for the charts & publications on board and their maintenance. Also, he is the medical officer onboard responsible for the upkeep and administering of all medically related services onboard. Being an OOW, the navigational watch timings for him are 1200-1600 hrs and 0000-0400 hrs while at sea. In port, his watches are from 1200-1800 hrs and 0000-0600 hrs

 

 

THIRD OFFICER/ THIRD MATE

 

The 3rd Mate is in charge of all the LSA and FFA onboard and is assigned the duty to upkeep and maintain them onboard. Apart from that, he has to handle all the port documents for use by the Master along with handling the bond store onboard. Being an OOW, the navigational watch timings for him are 0800-1200 hrs and 2000-0000 hrs while at sea. In port, his watches are from 0600-1200 hrs and 1800-0000 hrs

 

 

DECK CADET

 

The deck cadet is the trainee officer onboard, fresh out of the Institute.His sole job is to learn, comprehend and apply skills for the process of becoming a skilled officer in the future. Being a fresh candidate, a cadet is assigned tasks that give him a gradual understanding of the ship and her ongoings which come to use when preparing for the “Certificate of Competency” examinations to assume responsibility as an OOW in the future. Aside from the deck work that he needs to grasp, the major chunk of a cadets learning pertains to assisting an OOW in carrying out a safe navigational watch

 

 

DECK RATING (non-officers) 

 

 

 

BOATSWAIN

 

Boatswain (specifically pronounced as bosun) is in charge of the unlicensed deck crew or he is the head of the ratings in the deck department and performs all practical seamanship work on board under the order of the chief or deck officer.

 

 

ABLE SEAMAN

 

According to the modern nautical terminology, an able seaman (AB) possesses a merchant mariner’s document and is eligible to assist the deck department.

 

 

ORDINARY SEAMAN

 

The post of an ordinary seaman, denoted by OS,  serves the vessel’s deck department. An OS is usually busy with tasks such as buffing, scaling, cleaning the deck and occasionally painting the superstructure, above the main deck. An ordinary seaman can undertake activities like overhauling, splicing ropes, wiring, rigging, etc and conduct repair work on the deck. It is the Ordinary seaman’s job to ensure secure handling of cargo gears and loading or dismantling cargo as directed by the Bosun/Chief Mate. A trainee OS is like a cadet but for the ratings section.
