Captains and Mates on Water Vessels Job Description

[gschjetne]

0:18 Try telling the Chief Engineer that.

0:33 Everything about the captain said from this point on is false. All of this is the responsibility of the mates. The master usually doesn't stand watch, but supervises the rest of the crew and makes all the big decisions.

1:32 Doesn't matter if it's the US or Panama or Liberia. The STCW still stands, everyone needs to be licensed. It's a myth that flags of convenience allow just about anyone to run the ship.
