I am a girl. I want to float on the sea for a few months. Crew, please come in.

I used to be a sailor, and later I worked as a shipyard manager and surveyor. Now let me answer your question about my work experience. For ease of reading, the breakdown is as follows:

1 Ships are mainly divided into three departments, namely deck department (ship driving major), engine department (graduated from engine management major) and service department. The department mentioned above is the engine department, and the other two departments have low requirements for mechanical understanding.

On ocean-going ships, the driver's department has higher requirements for spoken English. The engine department usually only needs to make a maintenance order or bill of materials, or use English in the engine log or manual. You can't be in the driving department, so your English doesn't have much advantage. In addition, maritime English and maritime English are both very professional English, and I think your business English may not even be understood by other people on board. For example, port \ starboard means "left/right" on the ship. There are many similar ones.

I don't know Japanese. Not much comment. But few women work on Japanese ships.

If you want to board a ship, you must have two certificates: the ship service book and the China Ocean Shipping Crew Training Certificate (hereinafter referred to as the four certificates). Someone asked many times on Baidu know how to handle these two certificates. You can check it.

China ocean crew does not recruit female crew members. Not even as a family member of the crew. Therefore, it is difficult for you as a girl.

You're asking what it's like to live on a boat. In fact, the ship is the crew's living place and the crew's workplace. If you live in the office every day, you will be with the people in the office every day. And it will take a month or two to go out for a walk. What do you think of this feeling?

Finally, a word of advice: you should deal with people in all your work. If you want to escape from the ship's environment because you are not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, it can only be said that it is East? Migration to the west (an allusion is that the owl migrated from the east to the west because others thought its cry was ugly)

Since you added a question, I'll add two more:

The biggest difficulty for girls to board the ship is not what training you have to pass, what qualifications you have obtained, or what your professional/English level is. For example, as long as you board a ship (merchant ship), you must hold a crew service book, a China ocean-going crew training certificate (hereinafter referred to as the four certificates) and a crew certificate (not used by domestic ships). These certificates are easy to obtain, as long as you are sure to spend half a year and another 10 thousand yuan But the difficulty is that all training courses and maritime departments do not allow women to apply for certificates. Including the larger shipowners' companies, do not want female crew members to serve. Therefore, it is of little use if you train.

According to you, the purpose of your boarding the ship is to experience the life of the crew. There are many ways to experience life, and becoming a sailor is just one of them. And you chose the most difficult but not easy to achieve. In fact, you can go abroad as a reporter or writer or something. And in contact with the crew, you will find the answer to how to become a crew member (although the answer may be: no)

10 Don't focus on merchant ships. The easiest place for girls to get on a boat is a cruise ship. Let's take a look at a large passenger ship company.
