Ted Blenkers Sub Captain Ship

He is a technical assistant of the shipping company, appointed by him and with employment relationship with representative powers

When the ship is not in the shipping port of residence, the captain must act in his own name as if the ship and what it contains were his own.

This wide range of powers outlines the so-called nautical power or power on board, which make it a public official for certain issues.

Within the responsibility contracted by the shipping company for acts of the captain, highlights the so-called acts of baratería, which are the facts or omissions of the captain, intentional or negligent or derived from his inability, and which result in damage to third parties.

These, instead of being able to go against the captain, must claim directly from the shipping company; the latter, on the other hand, may then repeat against the captain.

The captain cannot undertake any trip without having on board the following books: navigation diary, accounting book and cargo book. In this regard, it should be noted that one of the captain's basic duties is to monitor the stowage or set of material operations for the proper placement of the cargo on the ship.
