A modern cargo ship has two departments on her board: the deck department and the engine department. The deck department [10] includes navigators [11], radio-operators [12], sailors [13]and a doctor. We call navigators according to their rank on board ship: master (captain), chief officer (chief mate), second officer (second mate), third officer (third mate), junior officer (fourth mate) and the fifth officer (fifth mate).

The duties of the officers are as follows:
The master [14] is responsible for the safety of the crew, ship, cargoes and passengers (if any). The chief officer [15] is the head of the deck department. The second officer [16] is responsible for loading and unloading cargoes at the port of departure and destination. The third officer [17] chooses the charts for the coming voyage and makes necessary corrections on the charts according to the latest navigational information (warnings). The fourth officer [18] keeps an account of technical documents. The fifth officer or the administrative assistant [19]of the captain provides the ship with provision and supply.
All the navigators but the fifth mate keep watch on the navigating bridge where they keep a sharp look-out as there may be some other ships crossing the course at any moment. The officer on watch takes bearings of light-houses, light-vessels and other coastal or sea objects. He does it as often as possible to check the ship’s position.
Radio officers keep watch in the radio-room and are responsible for radio-communications. There are often 1 or 2 Radio officers on board ship, but on ships with continuous radio watches there may be even 3 radio officers.
A Boatswain [20] and sailors must keep the ship’s hull, holds and tackle in good condition.
