cruise ships jobs

Purpose

The expectations from the Navy Boarding Officer in terms of work performance are quite high because the demands of the client (the Navy and Military) are significantly greater than other commercial vessels. The Navy demands perfect execution of every service required. Perfect timing, accuracy in the report and flawless delivery of services and on top of all this, the ability to prepare and deliver with very limited lead time or advance notices is required at all times.

Extraordinary flexibility is also required from the Navy Boarding Officer. He must be capable of doing things beyond the regular scope of work such as vessel attendance and coordination with the vendors and the authorities. Often times, he will be required to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty on site – monitoring waste disposals, going onboard services barges to supervise trash and sewage collection.

A Navy Boarding Officer not only puts himself at the forefront of the operations, but he goes to the forefront armed with every skill and talent that he has. Suffice it to say that putting his best foot forward is an understatement as the mission always requires putting all the limbs forward and giving it all his best because the best is the only standard of customer service for the Navy.

At the end of every operations, the Navy Boarding Officer’s task is not yet finished because in between vessel calls, he must see to it that all the equipment are cleaned, maintained, and ready to be deployed at any given moment.
