Operating a modern ship efficiently requires specialized knowledge. A seafarer thus needs to undergo training to operate and manage a ship. The two main departments of operating a ship are:

 

·         Deck or Navigation: Deck officers are responsible for the navigation of the ship and delivery of the cargo at the port of destination as per the time schedule. The department also looks after the general maintenance, administration, observance of national and international maritime laws and discipline on board.

·         Engine: With a basic qualification of engineering, the officers from the Engine Department are responsible for the efficient running and maintenance of the main engines and other equipments to enable the ship to sail as per the schedule.
