A Technical Rating, also known as an Engine Rating or Deck Rating, plays an essential role in supporting the operations and maintenance of cruise ships.

Their responsibilities primarily focus on assisting the engineering or deck departments with various tasks and ensuring the smooth functioning of the vessel.

Here is a general job description for a Technical Rating on cruise ships:

Maintenance Assistance:

Provide assistance to engineers or deck officers in routine maintenance tasks, inspections, and repairs of mechanical and electrical systems, equipment, and machinery onboard the ship.

This includes cleaning, lubricating, and performing minor repairs under the supervision of qualified personnel.

Equipment Operation:
Operate and monitor machinery and equipment such as pumps, generators, compressors, winches, cranes, and other auxiliary systems. Follow standard operating procedures and safety protocols while handling machinery and maintain a constant lookout for any abnormal conditions.

Safety and Security:
Adhere to safety procedures and regulations to ensure a safe working environment for oneself and others. Familiarize oneself with emergency procedures, firefighting equipment, life-saving appliances, and evacuation plans. Participate in safety drills and exercises as required.

Housekeeping and Organization:
Maintain cleanliness and tidiness in designated work areas, storage spaces, and common areas. Assist in the inventory control and management of spare parts, tools, and supplies. Ensure that all equipment and tools are properly stored and secured.

Watchkeeping Duties:
Carry out watchkeeping duties as assigned by the officer on duty.

This may involve monitoring engine room machinery, performing routine checks, and recording operational parameters such as temperature, pressure, fuel consumption, and fluid levels.


Mooring and Unmooring:
Assist in mooring and unmooring operations during port calls, following the instructions of the deck officers. Handle ropes, lines, and other mooring equipment to secure the ship alongside the pier or during anchor operations.

Teamwork and Collaboration:
Collaborate and communicate effectively with other crew members, including officers, engineers, and fellow technical ratings. Assist and support colleagues in their tasks when necessary. Maintain a professional and cooperative attitude in a multicultural work environment.

Continuous Learning:
Participate in onboard training programs, workshops, and drills to enhance technical skills, safety knowledge, and operational proficiency. Stay updated on relevant regulations and industry best practices to ensure compliance and efficiency in daily tasks.


It's important to note that specific duties and responsibilities may vary depending on the cruise ship company, the department assigned (engine or deck), and the rank or level of the Technical Rating.
