Ask me Anything about Ships or how you can become a crew onboard, I will gladly answer your questions, Nairaland doesn't have a forum for ships, hence the car section might be a perfect fit

Note: I don't give jobs, but I can guide you on navigating through the maritime career path

I have been looking for an opportunity to give you an inner experience of how an offshore vessel looks like...

They are different types of vessels

1. Roro ship
2. Container ship
3. Bulk carrier
4. Crude carrier
5. Gas Ship (LNG)
6. Oil tankers

You can Google each of them to get an insight on what they do

I work onboard offshore vessels, that's why I'm gonna narrow my explanation on this type of vessels

We have vessels which provides vital services to offshore installations which include

1. AHTS - Anchor Handling and Towing vessel
2. ASD Tugs - Azimuth Stern Drive tugs
3. DSV - Diving support Vessel
4. PSV - Platform Supply Vessel
5. Seismic Vessels
6.Pipe Laying vessels

The above mentioned vessels are all available in Nigeria carrying out services for IOCs

Though I've only worked on AHTS, ASD Tugs even though other vessels are of the same configuration but they perform different tasks

The duty of AHTS and ASD tug is for static towing

Onboard a ship, we have ratings and officers and it has two departments

Deck & Engine

The Captain is the overall, that's why he's also called the master but the certification of the captain and Chief Engineer is the same

Officers
Captain
Chief Engineer
Chief Mate or chief officer
Second Engineer - This is my rank onboard
Second mate or second officer
Third engineer
ETO

Ratings (Depends on the type of vessel)
Bosun, also called QuarterMaster
AB
Oiler
Cook


Onboard the ship, my responsibilities are enormous, ranging from Main engine maintenance, generators, Steering gear systems, Air conditioning unit etc

I'm onboard, and the bandwidth is crazy to upload pictures, I may do that much later if the network is good
