Where a container crane operator can go next

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

Container crane operators operate electrically powered cranes equipped with cantilevers on which hoisting gear is supported to load or unload container cargo. They move towers in position alongside vessel and lower cantilevers over the deck or hold of a vessel. They lift and move containers along the cantilever and position the container on the dock, on the vessel deck or in the hold.

Fig. 2 — the 3 nearest destinations from container crane operator. Distance from the centre is how much retraining the move takes; the figure on each is how much of that role a container crane operator already covers. All 3 are listed in the tables below.
  • 70% and above · short step
  • 50 to 70% · real move
  • Below 50% · substantial retraining

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a container crane operator 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.
