deep-sea fishery workertoboatswain
A deep-sea fishery worker already meets 67% of what the boatswain role asks for. The move turns on 9 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 42.6 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the boatswain role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the deep-sea fishery worker profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A boatswain role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a deep-sea fishery worker background worth leading with.
- already held operate ship equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held report to captain information skills
- already held use fishing vessel equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held coordinate the ship crew management skills
- already held assist in ship maintenance handling and moving
- already held handle cargo handling and moving
All 24 carried skills, including the 19 the boatswain role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 12 missing skills fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held operate vessel critical systems required
- required, not held stand watch on vessel required
- required, not held apply fishing maneuvres required
- required, not held participate in the organisation of emergency drills required

2 further areas in the appendix
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a boatswain role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 operate vessel critical systems skill · occupation specific
- 02 stand watch on vessel skill · occupation specific
- 03 apply fishing maneuvres skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
