provision refrigerator, the air conditioner, the evaporator, their
auxiliary pumps, and onboard electricity, etc. He’s also in charge of
maintaining the fuel oil, including purifier maintenance, keeping the
logbook and filing the noon report. You should read the Third
Engineer’s take over notebook to get the details.

our salaries any different from the Japanese crew?

2/Off : Yes, they are. They’re different because of the Japanese system. In Japan,
a company guarantees lifetime employment. Once an employee starts
work for a company, he is guaranteed a job until retirement. And salaries
are based on seniority. Salaries increase with the number of years the
employee works for a company.

2/Off : No, that’s not exactly right, and lately, things have been changing. It seems
that shipping companies cannot remain competitive unless they use a
Western-style salary system. More companies have abandoned their
seniority system and now apply wages based on job evaluation.
