Helpful Tips: Generally what is the Job of a Deck Officer Like? Merchant Navy deck officers work aboard container vessels, bulk carriers, tankers, cruise liners and ferries. They help to manage a ship's navigation, communications, crew and cargo. They also look after passengers on ships and take part in onboard social events. As a deck officer, you would work at one of four levels, depending on your experience: Master (Captain) – you would have full responsibility for the overall running and safety of the ship, crew (ratings), passengers and cargo. You would handle legal and commercial matters and keep all the ship's records up to date. Chief Officer – you would assist the Master and oversee deck operations and maintenance, cargo handling and storage. You would also manage work schedules and supervise other officers. Second Officer – you would be responsible for navigation, using radar, satellite and computer systems. You would also monitor the vessel's position, speed, direction and weather reports, and carry out watch duties at sea and in port. Third Officer – this would usually be your first post after training, dealing with the ship's safety equipment and lifeboats. You would assist the Second Officer and carry out watch duties. Some very large cargo ships and passenger liners may have a fifth officer level.
