How many people on a container ship has always been a matter of concern to everyone, and this issue can be said to be different for different shipping companies. Because some ships have electricians, waiters, etc. these establishments, while some ships do not. Although it is not known how many people there are in a boat, it is possible to know at least how many people there are in a boat.
Because each ship's nationality will issue a minimum safety manning certificate, which specifies in more detail how many crew members are required for each position.
Take a Panamanian-flagged container ship as an example, the minimum safety manning certificate stipulates that the ship needs a captain, a deck first mate, a second mate, a third mate, 3 sailors (AB), 2 two water (OS), a captain of the cabin department, a large tube, a second pipe and a three pipe each, 3 mechanics (MM), plus a chef, so that the minimum safety manning requirement on the ship is 17 people. However, if the ship is a UAV cabin ship, then the cabin can reduce a three-tube wheel or two-tube wheel and a mechanic, so for the UAV cabin ship, the minimum safety manning on board only needs 15 people.
In fact, the UAV cabin of the ship is often equipped with 6 ordinary crew members in the deck department, in addition to five sailors and a head. In the cabin department, sometimes the ordinary crew is only one MM, but the two-pipe wheel and the three-tube wheel each have one, and the minimum number of safe personnel in the cabin is 5 people. Generally there are six people, four Class A crew members and two regular crew members.
Therefore, the number of deck crews on the general UAV cabin ship is more than that of the cabin department, mainly the ordinary crew of the deck department is more, if you count the captain and the chef, then the crew of the deck department generally accounts for nearly two-thirds, while the cabin department only accounts for a little more than one-third.
Since it is a normal situation, there are exceptions, just like the ship I am on now, although the number of people on the whole ship is only 23 people, but the crew of the cabin part is as many as 12 people, accounting for more than half of the total number of people on the ship. You read that right, the crew of the cabin department is really 12 people, accounting for more than half of the ship's population. The running ship has been running for so many years, and for the first time, it has encountered more than half of the crew of the ship's cabin department.
Among the 12 people in the cabin department, there is one chief engineer, one large tube wheel, one two-pipe wheel and one three-pipe wheel, which is the basic equipment. The ordinary crew included a coppersmith and two two machines, so that the total number of crew members was also seven, five short of 12 crew members.
The remaining five people are cabin interns, yes, we have five cabin interns on this ship, but these five cabin interns are on board three times, and all of them are Taiwanese crew.
One of the five interns was not born in the class, but read another major, and then took the three-pipe wheel certificate, similar to the nature of the domestic 4+1. He was the first to board the ship and has been on board for 9 months so far, but he needs to have an internship on board for 12 months before he can get off the ship and exchange for a three-barrel wheel certificate.
Two of the other four marine interns had just been on board for a week, and two had been on board for three and a half months, and they all only needed to get on board for half a year. Because they have not yet obtained the three-pipe wheel certificate, they need to return to school after the internship to take the three-pipe wheel certificate. In fact, this is also good, you can decide whether to continue to run the ship.
Among the 12 crew members in the cabin, there are as many as 6 post-00 crew members. Among the five interns, except for the one who was not born slightly older than the class, the other four are all post-00s, and the two two machines are also after 00, and one of the two machines is smaller than the 03 years old, which is also the first time on the ship.
The reason why there are so many interns on the ship is estimated to be two reasons, one is that the current shortage of ship use, the owner has increased the recruitment efforts, recruited more interns; another reason is that due to the epidemic, the crew is inconvenient to get on and off the ship, especially in overseas ports, so some ships are easier to arrange for disembarkation and disembarkation due to the port where they dock, so there will be so many interns on a boat.
