2006-11-26:

Merchant Navy deck officers are part of the management team responsible for steering and navigating a ship.
Deck officers also supervise support workers ratings on deck, making sure that the ship runs smoothly and is properly maintained.
On passenger ships deck officers help with hosting social functions. Senior deck officers handle administrative, legal and commercial matters relating to the ship.
Merchant Navy vessels are continuously in operation.
Deck officers work shifts known as watches, which vary according to the size of the ship.
Officers in the Royal Fleet Auxiliary sometimes have to work under conditions of warfare.
Deck officers have their own cabin and bathroom and, on larger ships, access to leisure facilities. Smaller ships have more basic facilities.
The work and lifestyle on board ship will depend on the type of company, size and type of vessel, distances travelled and trading area.
Some ships travel world-wide, whereas others travel only in Europe.
Experienced officers are in demand for both on-shore and off-shore positions, with shipping companies, port authorities and other employers needing seafaring experience. Qualified junior deck officers earn between 20,000 and 22,000 a year. (Permalink)
