Where a boatswain can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a boatswain already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Boatswains organise the crew on deck and at the fishing hold to execute the orders received from a superior. They coordinate the operations of maintenance, manoeuvres, assembly and repair of fishing gear and sorting, processing and preserving of the catches while observing the hygienic standards and established safety regulations.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a boatswain already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
