The main jobs on board

Navigating Officer
As a navigation officer (usually called a deck officer), you'll be a vital member of the ship's management team, and with the prospect of sophisticated and expensive vessels, valuable cargo or passengers in your charge, it's a big responsibility.
 
While on duty (called a 'watch'), it will be down to you to make decisions on steering and maneuvering the ship, controlling navigation and communications. Using the latest technological systems, you'll have control at your fingertips. In port you'll be responsible for cargo handling and ship stability. As a senior deck officer, you'll be a leading member of a small team of skilled, professional seafarers, including junior officer and ratings. You'll direct and supervise the work of your team - maintaining the ship and its equipment at optimum efficiency. Your ultimate goal on board would to become the Master (Captain).
 
What qualities & skills will you need?
You'll need to be decisive, calm and able to inspire confidence in others. You'll be a good team member with mathematical ability, an interest in technology, and good written and verbal communication skills. Beyond that, confidence, enthusiasm and self-reliance are essential attributes.
 
Navigating officer/Deck officer Ranks are:
 
       
Officer Trainee   Third Officer   Second Officer   Chief Officer   Master (Captain)
 
For each of the ranks mentioned above you will have to hold a Certificate of Competency which is issued by the DG Shipping Government of India. You will receive the first of these certificates Second Officer(the Officer Of the Watch certificate, also known as the OOW certificate) when you complete your approved Sea Training and Pass written and oral Examination conducted by DG Shipping Govt. of India. Further certificates will be gained as you increase your experience at sea and pass the required examinations. You will need to have the Certificate for the next rank before you can be promoted into it - so it's important to get them as soon as you can!
