Now place yourself in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on a ship carrying 3,000
containers, one of them holding the very rolls of paper that concern the woman
above. The ship steams at 20 knots thorough calm seas on a moonless night. In the
galley, it's quiet but for the drone of ventilator blowers. A watch engineer in blue
coveralls microwaves some hot water for a cup of tea and prepares to relieve the 12
to 4 watch. He helps himself to a bran muffin left out by the cook and thinks about the
upcoming watch. Will he tag out no. 2 service water pump motor for the electrician to
repair in the morning? Did his relief figure out where the exhaust fumes in the
machine shop were coming from? How much more sea time does he need for a
chief’s license? What is his daughter doing at this very moment? Again, this
engineering officer is another good example of a maritime industry job.
Equally adept at field work, our young naval architect grabs her hardhat and flashlight
to inspect the containership. She soon identifies the damaged sections and
prepares a quick estimate of the welder and mechanic hours needed for the ship
repair. Soon she’s back at her computer writing up an engineering specification for
the repairs.
While this chain of events may seem a little busy for such a short time span, the
point is that everyone described above is part of the maritime industry and their
positions are all considered maritime jobs. The claim rep, the watch engineer, the
chief mate, the pilot, the diver and the naval architect….they all have different skills,
education and training. They’re all good at what they do. Although their
responsibilities and job descriptions are very different from one another, they all play
a role in ultimately doing what it takes to keep people or freight moving from one
place to another. Each of them makes a valuable contribution to the maritime
industry with the work they do in their maritime jobs.
Good luck and smooth sailing!

A few days later, our containership sits in a
shipyard. The yard crew wastes no time in
assessing the damage. A young naval architect
makes her way to the bottom of the drydock to
inspect the torn hull plates. With a degree in
naval architecture, she’s a computer whiz. In
school, she’s written programs for damaged
stability curves, fuel consumption, and
propeller selection.
Now, what is a maritime job? If you ask a maritime attorney that question, she may
tell you it is about prosecution of marine pollution cases. See criminal prosecution by
the U.S. Department of Justice in the section Legal Perils - look for the highlighted
text criminal prosecution in New Orleans... beneath the painting of Odysseus's ship.
The maritime industry is so broad, the answer to that question can take us to many
different corners of the world. Maritime jobs arise in the government sector,
insurance sector, engineering and design sector to name just a few areas. Maritime
jobs can mean different things to different people. If you ask a claim representative
working in the downtown New York City office of a marine underwriter, her view of the
maritime industry comes from adjusting cargo damage claims on ocean freight.
She reviews her bills of ladings, surveyor reports (survey jobs featured with DNV on
the listed employers page), and insurance policies to determine which claims
should be paid. She’ll easily handle thousands of such claims in a year. Our claim
representative wonders if she’ll be selected by her boss to attend insurance law
classes. She wonders if the company will reimburse her tuition for an MBA at night.
And she would definitely be correct in viewing her position a maritime job.
If an AB seaman from the
1960s was visit the
current job market, he or
she would probably be
surprised by so many
new types of ships that
simply were not in
existence 50 years ago,
like containerships, giant
cruise ships, RO/ROs
and more. Car carriers
would be in this class of
newcomers. Leif Hoegh
& Company operates
these vessels and has

Do you recognize this
ship? The question is a
little unfair because the
picture is so small. But
here are a few hints...
Captain Merrill Stubing,
Bartender Isaac
Washington, Cruise
Director Julie McCoy. Why
of course.... it's the Love
Boat! She used to be run
by P & O Cruises at the
time of the 1970s comedy.
Although she's been sold
since the time of the Love
Boat show, P & O still
hires. See the text link at

Some vocabulary trivia...
What is homesteading? Read
more at Government Jobs. It's a
good guess that it has
something to do with making
your best efforts to stay aboard a
ship when it offers single
staterooms (even for the most
junior crew members), good
chow, and television sets in each
stateroom.
