The Role of a Chief Mate: Leadership and Responsibility In the maritime industry, the role of a Chief Mate is pivotal, serving as the bridge between the captain and the crew. Having interacted closely with Chief Mates during my time at sea, I’ve gained a profound appreciation for the leadership and responsibility that this position entails. A Chief Mate is the second-in-command on a vessel, responsible for overseeing the deck department and ensuring the smooth operation of daily activities. This role demands a unique blend of technical expertise, leadership skills, and the ability to make critical decisions under pressure. This includes managing the loading and unloading of cargo, maintaining the vessel's stability, and ensuring that all safety protocols are strictly followed. During my time working on sea ships, I observed how Chief Mates meticulously planned and executed these tasks. Leadership is at the core of a Chief Mate’s role. They are responsible for training and supervising the deck crew, ensuring that everyone is competent and prepared for their duties. Effective communication and teamwork are essential, as the Chief Mate must coordinate with various departments and crew members to ensure smooth operations. In addition to operational duties, Chief Mates play a crucial role in navigation and watchkeeping. They assist the captain in planning and executing voyages, ensuring that the vessel adheres to the planned route and complies with all navigational regulations. The ability to make quick and informed decisions is vital, especially in challenging conditions or emergency situations. The maritime industry is continuously evolving, and the role of a Chief Mate is no exception. One of the significant trends is the increasing integration of technology in ship operations. Chief Mates must stay updated with the latest advancements in navigational systems, automation, and safety protocols. Another trend is the growing emphasis on sustainability and environmental compliance. Chief Mates are now more involved in implementing environmentally friendly practices on board, such as optimizing fuel consumption, managing waste, and ensuring compliance with international environmental regulations. Reflecting on my experiences, I believe that the role of a Chief Mate is one of the most challenging yet rewarding positions in the maritime industry. It requires a deep commitment to leadership, safety, and continuous learning. For those aspiring to become Chief Mates, I encourage you to develop your technical skills, embrace leadership opportunities, and stay abreast of industry trends. To employers seeking skilled maritime professionals, my background in nautical science, combined with hands-on experience and a solid understanding of the Chief Mate’s responsibilities, positions me well to contribute to your organization’s success.

Onboard #cruiseships - there is a different story! -> captain on (+/-) 18-21m LOA yacht - well… is just a #skipper, with offshore #yachtmaster license. Nothing to do with the real “#Captain” 👨✈️. -> #diveinstructor: 99% of the posted jobs are coming with a completion: deckhand/dive instructor (or #divemaster). 90% of the job description is #deck related, just 10% is #diving related.

United Brotherhood of Carpenters & Joiners of America Just a Question and I am asking does the NLRB allow diving supervisors to vote? It looks to me as they do... Because if there are hundreds of deaths in 10 years and supervisors can't vote and schools are lieing on gainful employment numbers, then the experience has no say and the divers are replaced? CLASSIFICATIONS: 2021-2022 2022-2023 2023-2024 Pile Driver $49.58 $51.84 $54.10 Pile Driver Foreman $54.54 $57.02 $59.51 Diver $103.43 $105.91 $108.40 Diver Superintendent $104.93 $107.41 $109.90 Dive Supervisor/Dive Master $66.98 $69.80 $72.63 Stand-By Diver $61.98 $64.80 $67.63 Tender $54.54 $57.02 $59.51 Manifold Operator $54.54 $57.02 $59.51 Manifold Operator (on days with mixed gas diving) $59.54 $62.02 $64.51 Bell/Vehicle/submersible Operator (not under pressure) $103.43 $105.91 $108.40 Remote Operated Vehicle Operator/Technician $54.54 $57.02 $59.51 Remote Operated Vehicle Tender $49.58 $51.84 $54.10 The National Labor Relations Board (NLRA) allows “employees” to organize. Expressly excluded from the definition of “employees” are “statutory supervisors.” The term “supervisor” means any individual having authority, in the interest of the employer, to hire, transfer, suspend, lay off, recall, promote, discharge, assign, reward, or discipline other employees, or responsibly to direct them, or to adjust their grievances, or effectively to recommend such action, if in connection with the foregoing the exercise of such authority is not of a merely routine or clerical nature, but requires the use of independent judgment. It is likely that certain members of the production team, such as producers and production supervisors fall within the definition of statutory supervisors but this is a fact-sensitive analysis that may vary from company to company and even job to job based on job duties. Some key points to note about statutory supervisors: U.S. Department of Labor

Looking to cover a crossing? Let’s explore the benefits of landing a position to help a yacht cross the Atlantic 👇🏼 🛥️ Accumulating Sea Miles: Crossings are an excellent way to build sea miles, which are essential for crew members aiming to advance their maritime qualifications. 🛥️ Exposure to Navigation & Watchkeeping: For deck crew in particular, crossings provide an ideal setting to gain hands-on experience with navigation, chart potting, and bridge operations. 🛥️ Understanding Offshore Operations: Crossings are a great way to experience the operational side of yachting during long-distance voyages. Crew members can gain insight into engine room checks, fuel calculations, extensive provisioning, bunkering and other logistical considerations. 🛥️ Strengthens Teamwork: Spending extended time at sea fostered stronger camaraderie and teamwork among crew members members. 🛥️ Challenging Situations: Crossings often expose crew to a variety of sea and weather conditions. This can be an excellent opportunity for crew to understand vessel dynamics, improving seamanship skills and learning how to cope with less-than-ideal conditions. 🛥️ Accomplishment: Completing a crossing is a significant achievement for any yacht crew member. It requires resilience, adaptability, and team work and completing one can successfully boost confidence, enrich your resume and provide a sense of personal achievement. 📸 @aneldevos #yachting #yachtcrew #yachtengineers #yachtcrossing #atlanticcrossing #superyachtcrew #superyachtcrewuk

One of the biggest mistakes that we are seeing already this year, is that new junior crew with barely 6 months experience behind them are refusing to apply for anything other than rotational positions. We understand that many people think that all jobs in yachting should be rotational, and we agree to be honest. But the reality is they are not. And because they are not, passing up jobs without rotation will come back to haunt you. We can almost guarantee that if 100% of new crew were to refuse to apply for anything other than rotational roles, then 85 % of you will be calling us in 4 months time complaining that you still have not landed a job. Please understand that you are new to the industry with no real solid experience, so we advise you to get stuck into anything thrown your way to begin with. If you plan to stay in the industry as long as most say that they do, then there should be no rush for rotation. We are not sure if agencies or training developers are putting these ideas into new crews minds, but we can assure you it is a very bad idea. A rotation will come all in good time, no need to fast track your career if your in it for the long haul.
