SCENIC CRUISE : ABLE SEAMAN
The Able Seaman remains on lookout on the Bridge during navigation. He sends specific signals to ships in the vicinity, paying attention to marine traffic. At the express order of the Captain or the Watch Officer, the Able Seaman is positioned on the steering column to guide the ship’s manual steering system. During navigation, if not assigned to the watch, the Able Seaman stays at the bow or stern. If not on watch, the Able Seaman performs cleaning, polishing of wood, brass and other metal parts, painting or lacquering of the bridge superstructure, lifeboats, or the ship’s sides.
