Jum baca pulak jawapan yang diberikan seorang insan yang tinggi akal fikiran.

If u have a class 4-5 COC, and you go on a very small vessel, and are bestowed the duty to bring the ship out of a river, by virtue of your status as a Master of that little vessel, your crew looks up to you and calls you Captain.

You cou
ld be a Class 3 holder and in a offshore barge setting, hold the responsibility and the title of a Barge Master, Barge Captain.. your company bestows you with the responsibility and duty to oversee the vessel's good care and also hold responsibility towards the crew under you.. once again you are called Capt.

COC is a license which the Government puts their backing on you that you are suitably qualified for the post. There are many classes of COC that will grant you the title Captain on the many classes of vessels out there.. think of non conventional vessels, MODU, under 500grt, 5000GT-3000GT.. so many types that Master Mariners may not want to venture in which will still need a Captain.

There are many classes of Captains and masters of the many different classes of vessels out in the world. Not only big giant ships, but down to the little boats, tugs etc, yatches, fishing boats.. all these have their own Captains by virtue of the duty that they hold on the vessel, as well as over the lives of their crew. The crew looks up to them, and calls the leader Captain. Hardly people say Master anymore.

By virtue of someone's past experience in helming a ship, or bringing a ship into port, mooring the ship to berth, which is by all means the most complex of all seamanship, to steer a ship in by rudder and engine to a slot only with metres ahead and astern, with these expertise, the harbour pilot is granted his customary Captain status by master mariners whom recognize the complexity of the task.

Firstly for one whom has yet seen the rest of the world and the many ships whom have "SUITABLY QUALIFIED MASTER MARINERS" whom dun give a fuck about your life and death, whom will menindas you and treat u like the maggot u are.. Maybe you will want to revisit that thought when you look at the lecturers who actually give a fuck whether you pass or fail in your institution, and call them Capt.

Outside of a maritime vessel, people still call them Capt in respect of their contributions, and past skills and experience.

Honestly, a person like you don't have to call anyone Captain, because you fundamentally understand only the surface of responsibility. When you do, you will see that, Companies put the title Captain for you, not the Government in a maritime setting. Its the company that empowers u with the duties of caring for their vessels and the crew under them. It is by virtue of the RESPONSIBILITY that you are granted the title Capt.
