Introduction of electronic engineer (electrician): Marine electronic engineer (electrician) is different from marine electrician. Electrician is the senior crew member responsible for the maintenance and management of ship electrical equipment.
Electronic Engineer (Electrical Engineer) is the first new post added to the existing ship post in Manila Amendment to STCW Convention (International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers). The establishment of this post is an important step for IMO (International Maritime Organization) to fully realize the great influence of new technologies, including IT technology, on navigation technology and implement electronic navigation strategic planning on a global scale. Manila Amendment to STCW Convention sets corresponding competency standards for electronic workers.
Local examinations organized by local institutions are generally maritime universities.
Extended data:
The crew certificate and the ship's electrical engineer certificate are calculated according to the total power of the generator of more than 500 kilowatts, and the ship must be equipped with a ship's electrical engineer. First-class ship electrician certificate, applicable to ships with total generator capacity 1200 kW or above.
Certificate of second-class engineer, applicable to ships with total generator capacity below 800 ~ 1200 kW; Third-class engineer certificate, applicable to ships with a total generator capacity of 500 ~ 800 kilowatts.
Electrical engineers are senior crew members and electricians are ordinary crew members, who are responsible for the maintenance and management of complex ship electrical equipment. At present, most shipping companies have cancelled this position.
The above certificate is the minimum crew certificate. To be an electrical engineer, you also need an engineer certificate issued by the Maritime Safety Administration, just like other pilot certificates.
