Marine Deck Officers include: Masters or Captains who guide, pilot, maintain and navigate the vessel. Chief Mates or First Mates who supervise the Deck Crew and oversee mooring, ballast control, loading and unloading, as well as night watch activities. Second Mates who maintain watch of the vessel’s control systems. Third Mates maintain watch and ensure the safety of the vessel and crew.

A Marine Deck Crew includes Boatswains and Deckhands. You have an understanding of the risks and you know how to manage them.
