Where a matrose can go next

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

Matroses are members of the deck department of an inland water transportship. They may work on the helm, on the deck, in the cargo hold and in the engine room. They may be called on to use emergency, lifesaving, damage control, and safety equipment. They perform all operations connected with the launching of lifesaving equipment and are expected to be able to operate deck machinery, mooring and anchoring equipment.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a matrose 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.
