1 Share of the stevedore superintendent role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ship planner 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

Why this move works

A stevedore superintendent role treats 7 of its required skills as things a ship planner already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • cargo industry
  • international regulations for cargo handling
  • national regulations on handling cargo
  • supervise loading of cargo
  • supervise unloading of cargo
  • use different communication channels

What stands in the way is 21 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A stevedore superintendent role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ship planner background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held cargo industry services
  • already held ensure safe loading of goods according to stowage plan assisting and caring
  • already held manage ocean-going oil tankers constructing
  • already held maritime telecommunications engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held national regulations on handling cargo services
  • already held international regulations for cargo handling business, administration and law

All 12 carried skills, including the 7 the stevedore superintendent role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 36 missing skills fall into 7 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.

Note

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.
