Ted Blenkers -Navy deck officers work on navy vessels

The transfer of cargo from a vessel to a navy vessel implies responsibilities slightly different from those of a junior skipper. These may include piloting control helicopters, liaising between different vessels, and controlling sophisticated handling equipment.

Navy deck officers work closely with the navy, and they may have to perform tasks in combat conditions.

To perform this work correctly you need:
* Be able to show your own initiative and self-confidence.
* Problem solving skills.
* Be a safe person and be firm so that your instructions are respected and followed.
* Teamwork skills, since you often have to work with large teams.

It is also useful:
* Have an interest in navigation and boats.
* Be a well-organized person with the ability to plan for the future.
Good vision is very important for navigation officers, so you will have to pass a vision test, including color vision.
