You will also ensure that the vessel is secured to the dock and to other vessels, wash and clean the deck, do the painting, splice and repair the ropes and cables, and lubricate any equipment or machinery.

  A Ship Captain or Maritime Boat Captain maintains ultimate command of the vessel they are operating. While this may be a pressurized and demanding job, it is very much a rewarding experience, requiring someone with excellent man-management skills and an eye for detail.The Ship or Boat Captain has to ensure that all legal and company standards are adhered to in both the vessel and the crew, paying particular attention to any environmental issues such as oil spills or the emission of any other pollutants. Working within Maritime as a Ship or Boat Captain you will be responsible for the safety of the crew and any cargo, and so the Captain must regularly inspect vessels to assess whether they are seaworthy and whether any machinery onboard is safe for use. Experience within the Maritime sector and technical knowledge of the vessel is required to be successful in this career, as is an in-depth understanding of tides, navigation and the effects of weather conditions.
