Career Prospects

Qualified deck officers will usually join shipping companies as a third officer, undertaking bridge watchkeeping duties at sea and operational duties in port. As their skills and experience develop, they can progress to higher certificates of competency, leading eventually to certification as ship’s captain.

Numerous opportunities also exist for qualified deck officers onshore. Shipping companies often recruit shore-based Captains as marine superintendents; as well, fleet operations staff are recruited from seagoing officers. Harbour authorities also recruit experienced officers to train as pilots, harbormasters and port operations managers. Maritime academies may recruit lecturers and assessors to transfer the knowledge and experience to the new generations of future captains.
