On a modern cargo ship, the ship’s crew is organized under 2 departments:  
deck and engine departments. The catering belongs to the deck department.  
The deck department is made up of a number of deck officers and ratings:  
The Chief Officer, Second Officer, Third Officer, bosun, Able seafarer deck and  
Ordinary seafarer deck and cadets.  
The main responsibilities of each crewmember of the deck department are  
described as follow.  
The ship’s master (Captain) is in command of the ship and responsible for  
the seaworthiness and efficient operation of the ship, the safety of the crew, cargo  
and equipment on boards.  
The Chief Officer (chief mate) is the head of the deck department and  
directly responsible under the Master for cargo work. He manages all work of the  
deck department. He keeps a navigational watch from 0400 to 0800 and from1600  
to 2000.  
The Second Officer and the Third Officer are responsible under the master  
when the ship’s under way and under the Chief Officer when the ship is in port.  
The Second Officer is responsible for navigation equipment, charts and  
navigational documents. He is in charge of the navigational watch from 0000 to  
0400 and from 1200 to 1600. The Third Officer is in charge of life saving  
appliances, fire-fighting equipment and assists the master to prepare ship’s papers  
for entering and leaving port. He performs the navigational watches from 0800 to  
1200 and from16.00 to midnight.  
The Bosun is the chief of the deck ratings and responsible to the chief officer  
for deck crew’s duties. He conducts routine work that ordered and approved by the  
Chief Officer.  
An Able Seafarer Deck (AB) keeps a navigation watch and a lookout watch.  
He’s also responsible for a gangway watch or an anchor watch.  
An Ordinary Seafarer Deck (OS) carries out a sailor’s routine work under  
the Bosun’s orders. His basic tasks are cleaning and maintaining decks, chipping,  
painting and handling lines when berthing and un-berthing. He also assists the  
Able Seafarer Deck in keeping watch.  
A cadet assists deck officers in various duties on board a ship, such as  
maintenance and repair duties.  
Each crewmember of the deck department has other duties except from the  
above mentioned.  
17  
According to the levels of responsibility specified in the Annex of the  
Standards on training, certification and watch-keeping for Seafarers (STCW) Code  
2010, there are three levels: management level (applies to senior officers),  
operational level applies to junior officers) and support level (applies to ratings).  
The management level includes master, chief mate, chief engineer officer and  
second engineer officer. The operational level consists of 2nd officer, 3rd officer, 3rd
