Rating deck. Rating forming part of a navigational watch. These terms are similar but they are not the same, which regularly causes confusion. What is the difference?<\/p>\n<p>First of all: Every seafarer who is not an officer, is a rating. There are ratings with, and ratings without a certificate of competency. Any rating should at least possess a seaman\u2019s book and a medical certificate.<\/p>\n<p>In the STCW convention, the term <strong>rating<\/strong> is used for a rating who does not (yet) have a certificate of competency. Generally, a rating is a crew member who is gaining experience on board as part of their education. They may be an apprentice either on deck, in the engine room or on the bridge. A rating is only allowed to carry out tasks under the supervision of a crew member who does have a certificate of competency.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>rating forming part of a navigational watch<\/strong> is a rating in possession of a certificate of competency \u2013 issued in accordance with STCW standards \u2013 that allows them to independently carry out tasks on deck. In order to gain this certificate of competency, they will have already collected seatime as a rating and have completed basic safety training. A rating forming part of a navigational watch is also called a <strong>rating deck<\/strong>. The Dutch term for this function is \u2018wachtlopend gezel dek\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The counterpart of the &#8216;rating forming part of a navigational watch&#8217; is <strong>the rating forming part of an engineering watch<\/strong>. This is a rating with a certificate of competence issued under STCW to independently carry out tasks in the engine room.<\/p>\n<p>Different names are used on different documents.
