保持船员工作的连续性是否有益

Crew Continuity–does it have its benefits?

来自正反两方的意见熟悉船上的设备和系统需要时间,且考虑到特定贸易或航线的复杂性,业界通常认为船员工作的连续性有益于船舶的运营。此外,还有一种观点认为,过于频繁地更换船员不利于培养“主人翁”意识,以及对所在船的自豪感。尽管从业绩考核角度看,这很难量化,但保持船员工作的连续性的确有助于船舶管理与运营。

Although in a common sense crew continuity has plenty of advantages,it also hides many challenges.Such as:Officers may become“typecast”on the specific vessel and make it harder to man the rest of the fleet when flexibility is called for;Senior officers,familiar with their roles,may form cliques,affecting the performance of the unit and the crew;Individuals won’t have the chance to progress professionally,and this is important for junior officers,who might find their promotion prospects affected by a stable crewing regime.
