marine cargo inspectortofreight inspector
A marine cargo inspector already meets 42% of what the freight inspector role asks for. The move turns on 13 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 60.9 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the freight inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the marine cargo inspector 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A freight inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a marine cargo inspector background worth leading with.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a freight inspector role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 conduct fact finding skill · occupation specific
- 02 accommodate cargo in freight transport vehicle skill · sector specific
- 03 check for defects in railcars 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.
