Where a ship planner can go next

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

Ship planners manage the performance of a vessel. They ensure the safety of the vessel and its cargo, its operationality and link available vessels to available cargos in order to maximise the profitability of the voyages. They ensure that each container ship is loaded to its optimal capacity, while keeping berth times and handling costs to a minimum. They also plan the maintenance and overhaul of the ship, as well as the crew needed.

How these figures were compiled

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