It´s called quota hire

americans are great but the usa dismantled the mm positions onboard ships

You right sir Diam Constantino, filipino are really great and can work in any position job they have, so thats why a lot of countries trusted the filipino when it comes in skilled work, im proud to be a filipino.

that is EXACTLY why there is a "wage gap"

+Mr. Broken Hey if it worked for Journey, it should work for cargo ships.

Many among us think that 20/20 vision is somewhat "superior" capacity, concerning visual acuity. However, it's only the mean, normal human vision. Nowadays, I don't think there is any problem with the spectacles.

+Richard Boudville I think, dead 20/20 visual acuity is not really a mandatory requirement nowadays.. they're rather more inclined to the restriction with the color blindness part. :)

Richard Boudville it’s fine as long as you have corrected lenses

What means?

+hoshino but i can't go to school..

+hoshino how do i can be a seaman? :(

+hoshino here in my country philippines its very defferent from what other countries did. if you're here in the philippines you need to go to school first before you need to get a job in a ship. there is no like fishing boat here like what i saw in America or in other country have. here in philippines also there are many requirements also before you can apply a job in sea they make it a bussiness that's why like me is can't find a job easy. I love other country because even f they dont have a license they can still find a jod like in the sea and they can get a good salary. hope i am in the country like that.

+hoshino before i'm schooling Seafering but i stop so i just only finish first year. i hope someone help me open my door for my journy. i really love to work at sea in a ship. i also trying to speak english.

+hoshino can u help me go to school? next year i would be turning to second year collage. help me please.

You mean like international commercial airline pilots and air traffic control? What think you Vractomorph?

the main point of communication is to send information to the other person, it doesn't matter if you use sign language as long as the other person understand.

tarakanalad4 And speech is what is used.

henerymag yes maritime english. basic english will do but some command maybe in some lngguage.

There may be more than one language on Earth (@Azzakurah), but basic knowledge of the English language is a requirement under STCW 95, which was enacted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). It just so happens that the IMO chose English as the language of the sea. There are certain phrases and words that mariners must know in order to communicate with other vessels. Words such as port, starboard, ahead, astern, bow, stern, etc.

Ugh gimme a break with the bible nonsense every allied soldier in WW1 kept a bible that never stopped millions of them dying. What will keep her safe is her maritime knowledge and skill, the cooperation with her crew and the people on land, and the quality engineering of the vessel.

you are wrong. she need extremely long-lasting LUCK...

I lol even tho im british 😅

+DesertSun You are a woman and a feminist. Why lie?

trance20001 Why lie about what?

What a patronizing stupid comment to make. There are good men and women employees everywhere. You are a whipped wuss. Zero or self respect.

they do the job better that you...

alun morgan, why don't you enlighten us? /ph

Well without looking at the video again but as per description she is not a captain Officers do not take the helm second mate is not second in command will that do for starters ?

She's 2nd mate, it will be long before she's a Captain. Regardless of her gender.

janey rekats captains don’t own the ships they just captain them
