Do the third officer in Hanoi need to take an English test?

There is no policy requirement, but some general companies do.

Now that there are more and more crew members, the state now has a policy: for students in engineering colleges, if they study in the corresponding maritime school for one year, they can take the sea trial certificate. Many shipping companies require computer level 2 and English level 4 for recruitment.

The third mate is a technical crew member specializing in sea driving, ranking behind the first mate and the second mate. In addition to normal duty, the third mate is also responsible for the maintenance of life-saving fire-fighting equipment on board, and under the leadership of the captain and the first mate, he earnestly implements the provisions of the company's comprehensive management system and performs the prescribed duties of ship navigation and berthing.
