- A Day in the Life of a Deck Cadet
PLUS bonus footage of dolphins jumping in the bow wave at the end.
In this Video I give you a basic introduction to life at sea through my eyes as a deck cadet on a ship. I show you an average day as a cadet from the time I wake up in the morning to the time I finish work as the sun sets. I show you the kind of work we do at sea on deck as well as from the navigation bridge.
To become a navigating officer on a ship, you must first sail for 18 months as a Deck Cadet or for 9 months as an Engine Cadet if you want to become a Marine Engineer.
As I have finished my time as a Cadet & I am waiting for a promotion to 3rd officer, this is my last opportunity to showcase life as a cadet. Whilst the exact work hours and jobs of a cadet will vary from ship to ship, I want to share my general perspective of life as a cadet.
As always, if you have any questions related to the video or to the maritime industry or merchant navy, drop a comment below and I will answer all of your questions.

Thanks for motivating me and may God send you a fair wind and a calm sea.

That looks so interesting
Thanks Ppratham. I try my best to keep making videos that you may find interesting. Stay tuned. I post new videos about every month or so.
bro, I'm really sorry that you had to do this sheat instead of carrying out other obligations designed for you by your future position like keeping watch and taking the knowledge of your profession in general!
Hello from a russian cadet.
In order to be an officer, one should know minor jobs in order to deliver commands properly. Simply because you know how much time those jobs require and no one can say that they are hard or to much time consuming.
@@domingo869 ge will study that being a second officer and going with chief officer around.
Nice video
good content.just wish you good luck ! could you make video how you calculated gyrro compass error ?
Hi OO TS. Many thanks, glad you are enjoying it. I could do a video on compass error calculation, but if you need one now, i recommend my teacher "Steering Mariners" UA-cam channel. Also when you are on board, ask your chief officer to show you how.
Love you sir from India your videos are very good☺☺👍👍
Hi Mahi. Many thanks for your kind words. I hope to keep creating enjoyable videos for you to watch and learn 😁
@@theaussieseafarer2658 welcome sir yeah definitely enjoy and learn from your videos ☺☺
Salute you all my cadet siblings ! Don't forget, one hand for yourself and one for the ship. Have a nice watch

Ahoy fellow sailors
Explain about GP Rating Course
Plz information about how to you join this job . Plz video with your life and information about course.
Hi Fêrb Gaming. If you want to become a seafarer, it's best to contact your local maritime college and enquire as to how you can become a seafarer. Its a great and rewarding career and I would always recommend it to everyone. I will continue to post more videos about my life as a seafarer so that you can get a greater insight into the job.
Hard... but beautiful
Thanks mate. Glad you are enjoying the content. Stay tuned for more 🙂
Shout out to CSL company
Which side will be more good deck or engine how to create interest engine side my back ground four year technical field but till now I have not created interest so please suggest me my more interest in communication ??
I like it baharia(seafarer)
Great video ..one thing I want to ask you how much is your salary as a cadet ??
Hi Avi. Glad you enjoyed the video. Make sure you subscribe and hit the notification bell so that you are notified each time we put up a new video. The salary of a cadet is the lowest of all the crew on the ship. It is not enormous but it is sufficient to get by until you become a qualified navigating officer.
👍
Can you tell me why you have to use the manual gyroscope and all that when there a cpu that caan do it for you? Or is it just part of studying to becoming 3rd mate. Im going as a cadet in 6 months as well
Hi Killforgood1023. We use the gyrocompass as it is a highly accurate tool for seeking true north. It is an entirely independent piece of equipment and is not influenced by any external forces. The calculation that we use can be achieved by manual calculation or by calculator and computer. I prefer to do this calculation manually as I can be sure that it is accurate. We take a sight of a celestial or terrestrial object to ensure that the gyrocompass has no, or little error. If the error increases more than about half a degree, we must get a technician on board to repair this vital navigation equipment.
Weird question to ask but can you listen to music while working?..
how to become a deck cadet what should i study ?
bro can u plzz tell me that in merchant navy our beard and hairs should b trim???
can you share the formula guide how to calculate the error?
Hi Bogdan. The formula is reasonably simple. Best thing to do is ask your chief officer to teach you. This way you will get a full understanding of what it is exactly that you are doing. This will show your chief that you are interested and he will endeavour to teach you more
do you have to keep your fitness up whilst working on ships
how do you verify compass error? explanation video? and u need to do that once a watch?
Hi mate. The captain makes it a requirement to take compass error every watch and on every new heading. This is because the deviation changes on every heading and the variation changes on ships location so it is always variable and somewhat unknown. I prefer to keep my videos entertaining for now, for any educational videos on any subjects, i recommend heading to my friends channel "Steering Mariners". He is very qualified and a very good teacher.
I have a question
By the end of MAY or JUNE month I will join my first contract as deck cadet I'm really afraid what people treat me and also the routine can you make vlog of it, for the upcoming sailors
you will be fine everyone onboard knows how scary their first ship was you will be treated well just do what you're told to do without complaining
@@austinmccormick7118 bro this is not complaining, it’s a request
Please better understand !!
@@arokiaraj6795 i said don't complain on the ship about jobs lol
I guess I m a bit late… but I have 5 month experience as a cadet, and don t be scary! Go there to learn and have fun! Take a notebook, flip flops and sweets
You ll see anyway!!
great video brother....can you make a video on room tour guide...
Hey mate. Glad you like it. A cabin tour in the future is definitely on the cards 👌
Hey, love and respect from India. I am going to join as deck cadet from fleet ship management. Is this a good company for deck cadet?
Hi Kaushik. The hardest part is finding a company to take you on so you have done well already and obviously impressed someone by your positive attitude. Every company is good for cadets. Make sure to show your keen interest to the Chief Officer and show an interest in learning. Be proactive, listen to the safety advice and always put your own safety first. You will do well. Enjoy 😁
Hey
Hello. I'm about to start my first cadetship onboard a Asphalt/Bitumen tanker and i am bit concerned with my academic knowledge, since it's been a long wait (
''If You Don't Use It, You'll Lose It'' kind of thing).
Should i be concerned too much since i have some holes in my academic knowledge? Some say it's not a problem, since it's a profession that can only be learned properly once onboard...some say i should revise some parts in case there is a hard-ass chief that will be knowledge checking me 24/7.
Any input would be apreciated.
Hi MrVux007. You should not worry about any holes you may think you have in your knowledge. Remember as a cadet you are there to learn, not to be tested. Any time you are unsure of something on board, you should always ask a senior officer. The more you ask and learn, the more they will be able to trust that you will become a valuable officer in the future. Enjoy your time on board.
Great video. Good to see a young person finding a career at sea and encouraging others. You may be interested in visiting the Offshore & Specialist Ships Australia Ltd (OSSA) website who's professional seafaring members are looking to promote future careers at sea and mentoring in the Australian Maritime Industry as well as preserving some of our specialist maritime history.
Hi Richard. Thank you for reaching out. That sounds really interesting and I will definitely follow this up. Im glad you enjoyed the video. Do you have a LinkedIn account I can contact you on to discuss this further? Alternatively, could you contact me at theaussieseafarer@gmail.com
😁😁😁
As a deck cadet, which books should I carry onboard while joining a ship for first time...???
Hi Suraj. The best book you can take with you as a cadet is a notebook. As you are joining a ship for the first time, you will find it to be an overwhelming experience and all you want to do is learn. All the knowledge you need will be on board in the form of nautical publications, IMO conventions and from the experience of the crew on board. I hope you enjoy your first contract.
does glasses tollerated for a deck officer? What about the binocul usage?
Hi Alex. You can wear glasses as a deck officer. You must pass an eyesight test in your seafarer medical exam and if you need to wear glasses for that, then you will be required to wear glasses when working on the navigation bridge. The only thing is, that if you are colour blind, you will not be able to be a deck officer. If this is the case, its still a great career to become a marine engineer officer
After diploma can i join marchant navy asa deck cadet?
I m going to join my first vessel in a few days, feeling a lil anxious can u lemme know what can i revise before i go, it d help a ton bruv, thank you in advance

#merchantmarinerriyaz
Hello bro I am a deck cadet soon I will be onboard of a ship which advice will u add it to me I am traning under Greece government
Sir, which company you are.?
How much spare time do you usually have between works
Hi just a guy 64. It will vary from ship to ship but normally you will find yourself working between 8 and 12 hour days. Anything more than this and you should definitely be consulting the STCW Code on minimum hours of rest.
Hlw bro.. How can I got placement.. Can you help me..? Please.. I'm fresher Deck Cadet and I'm looking for a job..
Are we must do science ,mathes or technology to apply deck cadet course?
Science
Hlo I am doing a course to join ship what was ur first day experience in your first voyage
My first day on my first ship was amazing. Really nice crew, all wanted to teach me everything they could. But your first day will be safety induction. Show you where all the life saving appliances are and where all the fire fighting equipment is. Where is the closest fire extinguisher to your cabin, where you can find your life-jacket and immersion suit in your cabin. Shortest route from your cabin to muster station. Emergency signals. Fire alarm, general alarm, prepare to abandon ship alarm. What to do in an emergency. And then they will give you time to rest as you may have travelled a long way to get there.
Brother who to do DNS course from foreign country please can you tell me ?
Hi Vishesh. Can you please clarify what is a DNS course? That way I can help to steer you in the right direction. If in doubt, best thing to do is contact your local Maritime College.
@@theaussieseafarer2658 brother DNS is a one year course(Diploma in nautical science)after it we have to do 18 months of sea time to appear for 3rd mate ..hope it answers your question😊
Hii bro
I need a 2nd officer book if u have a pdf or link please send me
Hi Bheema. Im not sure quite what you are after. Send me an email explaining what you mean at theaussieseafarer@gmail.com
how much free time do you have in a daily basis?
Plenty!! Due to MLC, we rarely work more than 12 hours a day. Most days we work about 10 hours 😀
how many years it take to get promoted to the third officer from the cadet
Hi ANUMOL RAJU. It will vary from company to company and country to country but normally from cadet to junior officer will take around 3 to 5 years
Yuo are so cute
Could you do an interview with a woman on the deck cadet
Hi N22 Zzz. If the opportunity arises for me to interview female cadet, I will most certainly do it.
Hello bro what about sponsership how we get
Hi Vikash. Getting a sponsorship with a company is always a challenging. Trying to convince a company that they need you, when really, you need them. Best to put together a list of all the companies you can think of and get a contact detail for each and make a phone call to all of them once a week asking if they are taking cadets. Showing them your persistence is the best bet towards impressing them enough to take you on.
What about autonomous ships ....are jobs at risk ??
With the costs involved with Autonomous ships, and the number of shipping companies around the world that run on shoestring budgets, it is unlikely that autonomous ships will have any impact on jobs of seafarers for at least the next 50 year, by which time I hope to have retired. There are so many concerns that come with Autonomous ships like how to arrange mooring opperations with no crew on board, how to effectively manage months worth of maintenance during the short port visits, etc. Good question. Hope you enjoyed the video 😀
@@theaussieseafarer2658 sure bro im subscribing u ...thnku for sharing this information ....i also want to be a deck officer but i was little afraid about the job security in further future thnks
Bro I am from Indonesian can you gave me solution for become Cadet in a broad
Hi Ardian. Fabulous to hear that you want to join the industry. I think its the best job in the world. Best thing to do is contact your local maritime college. Im not too sure about the maritime college in Indonesia. If not, then would be worth your time contacting UK Maritime Academy or Australian Maritime College. Both are fantastic institutions to gain your maritime training and qualifications from both are recognised around the world.
How old are you, i want to work on ship
Hi Marcin. I am 23 years old. If you want to work on a ship, you should contact your local maritime college and enquire as to how you can become a seafarer. Usually takes about 3 to 5 years of study to become a junior officer.
at 3:58 what were you studying?
Hi Alex. I think I was studying some basic stability calculations for my own learning.
Your working for which company?
Hi Pratima. Was previously working for an Australian company, now working short contracts on international vessels.
can a deck cadet bring his dog on deck
Hlo
Hello to you too 🤪
In which company are u bro?
Hi Ojas. I was working for Canadian Steamship Line as a cadet.
fuck me 18 months as a Cadet???? we have 300 days and i have my papers for 2nd engineer and 2nd officer.....and yes BOTH
How much u get as an deck cadet..?
Hi Satya. While you're not going to become rich on a cadet wage, it is sufficient to get by until you are qualified.
@@theaussieseafarer2658 but once you get promoted to officer rank you can earn good amount of money
Definitely. As you increase your rank, so does your salary. Obviously the rate is dependent upon the value of the cargo also. Ships transporting high value cargo often pay the crew better than ships transporting low value cargo.
Salary???
Hi Rapsyyy. Cadet salary is always the lowest of all crew on board. This makes sense since the cadet is the least qualified and has the least experience. As your qualifications and experience increase, so does your salary
