Hi all,
Could someone clarify the ranks on a merchant ship. I know that you have Deck and Engineering officers and these are exactly that, officers. But where does a purser fall in to? Are pursers "Logistic Officers" in a way? So do they hold the "officer" title?
Also, could a senior Deck officer tell a Junior engineering officer what to do? Could a purser tell a deck or engineering officer what to do?
It is just so confusing as it seems that everyone is given gold stripes! Especially on cruise ships!
