Yangtze River Shipping: The main differences between the captain and the crew of a ship in the Yangtze River are:

1. The captain is a crew member, but the crew member is not necessarily the captain

The first difference between a captain and an ordinary crew member is in their duties. What we usually call crew mostly refers to ordinary crew members. The crew is extensive, including the captain.

Crew is a big concept, which includes the captain and other crew members. Captain is just a position on a ship.

Ships currently generally consist of four departments: driving department, engine department, sailor department, and logistics department. The positions in each department are different, and the duties are also different.

The improvement of the skill level certificate of the crew on the ship is different from that of our daily cars. Captains must pass the exams from sailor to third mate, second mate, and first mate. Car drivers, regardless of whether they have C license, B license, or A license, can choose to take the test individually.

2. Depending on the responsibilities, the thickness of the note is naturally similar and different.

The greater the pressure you can withstand, the greater the benefits you can obtain. This is a term commonly used in the investment community, and can also be used to reflect the captain's salary.

At present, the crews of ships in the Yangtze River are mainly divided into senior crew members and ordinary crew members.

Officers are what we call certified crew members of ships. The certificate here is the crew's competency certificate, which is also the crew's grade certificate. It needs to pass the theoretical examination and practical examination. After passing the test, it will be issued by the maritime authority.

Ordinary crew members refer to sailors, helmsmen, oilers, catering staff, etc.

The captain is the first person responsible for the ship and has primary responsibility for the safety, production, and anti-pollution of the entire ship.

In addition to being a crew member, the captain is also the manager of the ship and is the hub between the crew and the company.

As an ordinary crew member, your main task is to complete your own job and ensure safety.

With different responsibilities, the pressure is different; with different positions, the salary will naturally be different.
