maritime water transport general managertoship duty engineer
A maritime water transport general manager already meets 18% of what the ship duty engineer role asks for. The move turns on 22 required skills not yet in the profile.
18%
83.6/ 100
1 Share of the ship duty engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the maritime water transport general manager 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.
Why this move works
A ship duty engineer role treats 4 of its required skills as things a maritime water transport general manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- Global Maritime Distress and Safety System
- International Maritime Organisation conventions
- manage safety standards for maritime water transport
- maritime law
What stands in the way is 22 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ship duty engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a maritime water transport general manager background worth leading with.
- already held manage safety standards for maritime water transport assisting and caring
- already held International Maritime Organisation conventions business, administration and law
- already held maritime law business, administration and law
- already held Global Maritime Distress and Safety System services
- already held act reliably communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held liaise with colleagues communication, collaboration and creativity
All 8 carried skills, including the 4 the ship duty engineer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 30 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.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a ship duty engineer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 manage second level engines skill · occupation specific
- 02 ship hull engineering knowledge · occupation specific
- 03 apply vessel engine regulations 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.
