🛳️⚙️ Commercial Chief Engineers and Yachting Roles 🛳️⚙️Ever wondered why seasoned Commercial Chief Engineers sometimes face hurdles in securing roles within the yachting industry?It's a nuanced challenge. While commanding the engine rooms of massive tankers, cargo ships, or cruise liners equips you with invaluable and incomparable expertise, the day to day dynamic of yachts, especially those under 100m, requires a different approach. Yacht Chiefs must be hands-on and ready to dive into action when the team is stretched thin. This (rightly or wrongly) leads hiring managers to wonder if a Class 1 Commercial Chief Engineer still possesses those crucial hands-on skills.One key misstep I've observed is the emphasis on managerial prowess on CVs. This sometimes overshadows the practical skills essential for yacht engineering. Recognising that a yacht chief engineer's role is inherently hands-on a lot of the time, tailor your CV accordingly. Downplay the "I managed a department of 140 team members" and highlight your enthusiasm and willingness for rolling up your sleeves and getting hands-on.This strategic shift will undoubtedly improve your chances of making it to the interview stage. In the world of yachting, being a hands-on Chief Engineer is often the hallmark of success. ⚓🔧The Crew Hunter

"I need to get back to Sea!!!" I could hear the frustation in his voice but the 3 years in cold, northern Germany had gotten to him. So this begs the question, "Are new-build projects as glamorous as they are made out to be?". I think most engineers will probably say yes but isn't the point of being a mariner to be at sea? Before you head off to an ice-cold northern European shipyard, perhaps give the below a read.I haven't had the opportunity to build a ship as yet, but I have worked very closely with a number of teams, crew, and management teams that have or are currently building new vessels, and there certainly are some pros and cons to working on a new-build. So this is what you should know:PROs1. Exposure to shipbuilding. And that's not just the technical aspects; you will see exactly what it takes to build a vessel from concept through to completion and learn an incredible amount along the way, setting you up for a future management or leadership position.2. The pay. Your salary could go up by as much as 30–40% to join a permanent build team on a project. You may also be provided additional perks such as cars, accommodation, and regular flights home to ensure you are the happiest you can be throughout the lifetime of the project.3. Elevated career status. This, I feel, is why most people choose new builds, as your CV will show that a company or owner has trusted you and your skill set to supervise their investment, which is more than likely worth tens of millions of euros. CONS1. The cold, rainy, dark, long winters. You may be away from your family and far from home; you may not speak the language; and if you have joined from the start, you may be looking at 5 days a week and 3–4 years on land working on the project.2. Tedious work. You will need to go through countless acceptance tests, inspections, and commissioning documentation during the course of the build, not to mention needing to record and document everything as thoroughly as possible, plus setup and start the PMS, which in itself is a significant undertaking.3. No more adventure. I think most mariners have this innate desire to explore and see the world. That stops until the ship you are building is delivered and you set sail. No more time off in the sun, a day break in a new city or even a run up a mountain after a passage.Please feel free to drop a comment below and share your thoughts or experience with a new build project. And if you are considering a new build or involved with one right now, why not engage with us here at SECTRE? We have guided a number of candidates and clients through this process and we are here to help.#thinktechnical #thinkSECTRE

Are you happy with the standard of your technical documentation? We found that time after time yachts were delivered with poor 'as-built' drawings and very few had any form of technical operations manual. Having experienced both the commercial and yacht industries, we noticed that yachting is way behind in standards and quality. Sentini Marine creates a single Technical Operations Manual, documenting both technical and safety knowledge of the systems and operations on-board your vessel. The contents listcan cover; all systems and equipment on-board, safety information and protocols, SOLAS, bridge and deck operations and information.Collating all the build and manufacturers information,and the current crew member’s operational experienceinto one place, making it a tool for the vessel’s lifetime.

Chinese officials detailed the plans for the country’s second domestically-built large cruise ship as they continue to look to refine their expertise in building this unique category of ship. While highlighting the successful completion of the Adora Magic City in 2023, they note that the second cruise ship will both be larger and the design independently optimized.Shipyard officials said they strive with the second cruise ship to achieve a new leap forward in China’s large-scale cruise ship construction. As a country, the goal is to become competitive with Fincantieri, Meyer, and Chantiers de l’Atlantique, the European companies that currently dominate large cruise ship construction. Other shipbuilders attempted but later abandoned large cruise ship construction due to the unique specializations and extensive subcontractor and supplier networks required to build the ships. Japan’s Mitsubishi Shipyard gained two contractors from Carnival Corporation but reported large financial losses before ending efforts to build large cruise ships.
