Transport Opportunity: Port Operative

Port operative Current Vacancies

2007-01-09:

Port operatives are employed by port authorities or private cargo-handling companies, and work in three main areas: stevedoring, passenger operations and marine operations.
Stevedoring involves loading and unloading cargo and transporting it within the port.
On lift-on lift-off container ships, stevedores load and unload containers using dockside cranes or the ships lifting gear.
Passenger operatives normally work with passengers in ports that have ferry services or a cruise terminal.
The type of work and working conditions can vary and is dependant upon the type of passenger service the port is offering.
If working within a passenger terminal, operatives may provide travel information, check documentation, answer individual enquiries and ensure passengers travel through the terminal safely and efficiently.
Marine operatives deal with what is known as the wet side of port work which, in most ports, will mean working from, or crewing, small harbour craft.
Port operatives normally work an average 40 hours a week. Port operatives are employed by port authorities or private cargo handling companies. There are also lists of major port employers on the websites of the British Ports Association and Associated British Ports.
An experienced and qualified port operative will earn 12,500 to 20,000. (Permalink)
