Ranks On Board Ship

The Merchant Marine
Sometimes called the 'Merchant Navy' consists of civilian vessels — The Merchant Navy is a term used to refer to the commercial sector of the maritime industry. The merchant navy has no involvement in military service, but rather the shipping of cargo and people across sea routes aboard cargo ships, tankers, and cruise liners.

The maritime industry stands at the heart of global connections and economy as much of the world trade between nations is still carried out marine trade routes.

Positions aboard merchant ships can typically be broken down into four departments; deck department/ navigation, engineering department, electro-technical department, and stewards department/ hospitality.

All departments operate under the orders of the ship’s captain, the highest responsible acting on behalf of the ship’s owner.

When joining the merchant navy, it is essential to have a basic understand each of these departments, their core responsibilities.

Departments in the Merchant Navy

Deck Department
Deck Officers head up the overall running of the ship, handling navigation, communication and the crew. On cargo ships they will oversee the cargo and aboard a cruise ship they would take care of passengers and be present for onboard social events.

There are different positions available as you gain more experience as a deck officer, starting with Third Officer. This would be your first position after training and would give you responsibility over safety equipment and lifeboats as well as assisting the Second Officer and carrying out watch duties.

The Second Officer gains more responsibility as they have more experience; they preside over the computer systems and navigation, including using satellites and radars. They also monitor the vessels speed and direction as well as weather conditions whilst still carrying out watch duties whether the ship is docked or at sea.

Electrical Department
Modern ships are based on very modern complex electrical technology, and a wealth of electrical equipment is on board at any given moment. This is why the electrotechnical work within the engineering department to maintain the electrical control boards, a navigation system, radios, and propulsion control for the ship.

More and more ships crews are specifically employing an electro-technical officer as ships are becoming increasingly reliant on complex electrical equipment. Almost all engineering departments have ETO’s, and they tend to report to the chief engineer.

Engineering Department
The Engineering department maintain the machines that keep the ship moving, from the propulsion machinery, the engine room refrigeration units, ship air conditioning, and deck machinery. They monitor all of these machines through keeping watches in the engine rooms and repair any problem arises efficiently so that the ship may carry on the important journeys the Merchant Navy demands.

This department is hierarchical, and officers may progress with experience. After cadetship, you will typically enter a ship as Third Engineer and your responsibilities will be assisting the Second Engineer and maintaining the electrical systems and machinery.

Second Officers supervise the day-to-day duties of the staff and engine crew, whilst the First (or Chief) Engineer is the highest authority in the department for allocating tasks and planning engineering tasks aboard the ship.

Stewards Department
Stewards aboard the ships focus on the other people aboard, both passengers and crew. They are in charge of helping to prepare and serve the food and maintain all aspects of the living and eating quarters including linens and furniture. On passenger ships, they are the staff that most closely work with the guests and see to their needs.
