A captain responsible to sails his ship through rugged seas and ocean of fire. |
So today, I would like to share about role or responsibilities of a man who are the most important and the most respectable on a ships, a man holding the post as a Captain.
On ships, captain is the most highest rank and the one who command the ships. He is a role model to the officers and crew on ships. The captain is directly responsible for ensuring ship safely and successfully carries out its functions.

A captain is in charge of his officers and crew. He must possesses excellent interpersonal skills to communicate with and give orders to his subordinates. Captains are also responsible for payroll, working hours, addressing crew grievances, and monitors the performance of crew member. As a captain, you must have an intimate understanding of whatever vessel you are in charge of. You are ultimately responsible for the safety, well-being and proper maintenance of the ship. you must be vigilant about the condition of everything on board the ship and make regular rounds to ensure all equipment is functioning.
As the highest-ranking officer on the ship, any illegal activity on the ship ultimately falls at the feet of the captain. So, the captain must have an intimate understanding of the laws and regulations that govern the crew's activities. Captains also are directly responsible for the extensive record-keeping that is commonly required for any ship.
The captain is the main representative of the ship. A captain must maintain direct communication with your superiors on land. On the other side, you will communicate orders and relevant information to the crew.
The duties of a captain as a leader on board ship is not limited to the point that I mentioned above. As the saying " Berat mata memandang, berat lagi bahu yang memikul". So that's all for my entry. Thank you for your time.
Future captain:) |
