1 Share of the fisheries boatman role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the skipper 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 fisheries boatman role treats 14 of its required skills as things a skipper already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

assess stability of vessels
assess trim of vessels
conduct water navigation
ensure vessel compliance with regulations
prepare safety exercises on ships
principles of cargo stowage

What stands in the way is 30 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 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fisheries boatman role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a skipper background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held prepare safety exercises on ships assisting and caring
already held compose stowage plans management skills
already held provide on-board safety training communication, collaboration and creativity
already held secure cargo in stowage handling and moving
already held assess stability of vessels information skills
already held assess trim of vessels working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 18 carried skills, including the 14 the fisheries boatman role treats as required.

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.
