Jobs on Large Ships
However, operations have become globalized. Containerization has grown to be a major
mode of cargo transport. Intermodal operations interfacing with rail and truck
transportation have introduced disciplines such as freight forwarding, logistics, and
operations management. You are going to see more in the way of positions dealing with
freight and container operations, logistics, and supply chain management.
We’ve seen many mergers among many top players in this industry. And some of the
heavyweights list their employment opportunities in terms of hundreds of jobs. With
some ocean carriers, you’ll still find the traditional opportunities. Some even have
programs where qualified candidates are groomed and trained for positions of
increasing responsibility aboard their ships.
Because of the growth of the land-based operations, these companies have
opportunities for analysts, accountants, auditors and surveyors. Interestingly, you may
see more opportunities for positions like those than the more traditionally recognizable
maritime jobs. Claims adjustment for damaged cargo is a critical aspect of marine
ocean transport.
Cargo may be broken in transit. It may have been exposed to salt water. Or steel may
have been exposed to excessive moisture, where it sustained rust damage. Such
losses require cargo surveyors and claims adjustors to reconcile the monetary losses
with insurance carriers, subrogation companies and recipients of the cargo.
The jobs offered by these companies are diverse and multidisciplinary. Some will
require a degree in engineering, or possibly qualification in refrigeration. Others may
require expertise the rules of COGSA (Carriage of Goods by Sea Act), surveyor reports,
bills of lading, letters of credit, certain sections of the Uniform Commercial Code. Others
may require familiarity with the latest software for accounting and auditing.
Many backgrounds and disciplines are sought by large ocean carriers today.
Good luck and smooth sailing!

The landscape of employment with large
ocean carriers has evolved over the
years. The traditional jobs aboard
ocean-going vessels still apply job
descriptions like first officer or second
assistant engineer.

The footage of the container ship in the video above slamming through towering
waves is fearsome. As the camera moves below decks, the footage becomes
downright terrifying. You actually see decks and passageways bending like a
see-saw. The video is convincing commentary about the unique hazards faced by
commercial mariners in an open sea. It is also a strong testimony to the skills of
Naval architects and marine engineers who design ships to survive severe seas.

It takes a Technical insight into the tensile strength of steel, bending moments of
complex beams, metallurgical fatigue and other engineering concepts to design a
ship that will flex rather than snap in half. The opposite ends of the hull may bounce
distances measurable in terms of FEET rather than inches. It may seem like dry
engineering on paper. But as the video shows, passageways bending up and down
like that are a terrifying sight. It is during such times that the commercial mariner may
pray a ship was well designed and built. This site features some of the companies
that hire naval architects and marine engineers, such as Elliot Bay Design Group, on
the Who's Hiring Now page, or Gibbs & Cox, in the listed employers section.

It may be one thing to understand basic concepts like trim and stability. It is yet another
to appreciate the structural limits of steel beams and bulkheads as they are rocked by
40 foot waves with concussive force. It is one thing to have a working grasp of sagging
and hogging to avoid breaking your ship’s back during cargo operations. It is yet
another for the naval architect and marine engineer to understand that a ship behaves
like a giant box beam in a tumultuous seaway. At one moment, the ship may be
Hogging , then seconds later, sagging then, twisting and flexing within a brief time.
