Study Regarding the Cadets and Young Officers’ Activity on Board Ships

A four years study was conducted with a participation of around 650 students and graduates that already had a practical sea experience of 6 to 18 months. These students and graduates were embarked as deck cadets, able seaman or helmsman. The study also includes about 200 already certified deck officers with around one year sea experience, officers that were also enrolled to the master programs of the Navigation Faculty. Analyzing and testing the study subjects’ practical skills, the authors were able to identify a series of elements that can have a long term negative impact on the practical training of the deck cadets and officers, most of them related with the safety of navigation. The main purpose of this paper is to underline these negative aspects and to propose some corrective solutions.
