Boatswain (from Dutch bootsmann - boatswain, man of the ship) - the oldest position on the ship that has come down to our times. Speaking of the boatswain, a stocky sailor with a pipe in his mouth rises before his eyes, moving along the deck with a wide step - the hero of many works of world literature. “What is the boatswain - such is the ship”, a saying that fully reflects the role of the boatswain on the ship.

The Morskoy Pravda/Maritime Telegraph correspondent spoke with a representative of the profession in order to understand who a modern boatswain is. Ivan Vdovichenko has been working as a boatswain for 4 years on various vessels: station wagons, bulk carriers, containers, ro-ro.

MP/MT: Why did you decide to become a boatswain?

I started my career as a sailor and worked on six contracts under different boatswains. Many of them, in my opinion, were incompetent. Few people knew the technological process of painting, they did not understand spray guns. This created chaos in the work and cost the shipowners additional costs. In general, more than half of the boatswains with whom I encountered did not know the norms for the number of layers of paint for the surfaces of the hull, superstructure and various types of tanks on the ship. And this is at least a double overspending for the owners. Often the technological process of painting was violated - they painted in fog, at the wrong temperature, or on an unprepared surface (soot, not desalinated). Such commands came from the first mate, who was not competent in this matter. In general, false pipes are most often painted under inappropriate conditions - at an inappropriate temperature.

I know the process from good seamanship. Having specially communicated with a painting technologist, I took paint compatibility cards and studied all this. I carry literature and photographs in electronic form with me to show them to ignorant first mates and captains.

MP/MT: Is it difficult to become a boatswain?

You need to work out at least two contracts and earn two promotions. In my case, there were many applicants, because work involves more control than direct physical work. Also, the old boatswain did not quit and did not move.

While working for the same company but on different ships, I often crossed paths with the superintendent and he had questions about pipes, cofferdams, scuppers and their condition, as well as the condition of the foundations of capstans and windlasses. I answered his questions. For example, when mooring, the windlasses did not produce the required power due to the condition of the foundation. In a conversation with him, we sorted out the problematic points, and I showed him what needs to be done. I also mentioned that I want to work as a boatswain, asked what it takes to become one (at that time I already had two promotions, but there was no promotion). One day I was called to the captain's office where the DPA, two superintendents and the captain were present. I was told that if the terms of the session allow me (at that time I was getting a second degree at the Naval Academy), then in a month and a half the boatswain's contract ends - and I can change it. And so it happened. And five months later I was already working on a vessel unfamiliar to me as a boatswain.

MP/MT: What documents are required?

When the sailor's documents ran out, I immediately made the boatswain's documents. The procedure took up to three months.

In the Inspectorate for certification of seafarers, you can get the entire set of necessary certificates. Certificates are issued for a period of 5 years, and a diploma is indefinite.

It turned out to be a huge problem to submit documents to the Inspectorate, I had to take a live queue from one in the morning, because documents for ratings, navigators, mechanics, tanker documents and GMDSS are all accepted in one office and few people know that there are 5 queues for each table located at office doors. And many, seeing the crowd in the corridor, just turn around and leave.

MP / MT: On the one hand, the boatswain is the head of the deck crew, on the other, he is the executor of the orders of the first mate. Are there management difficulties?

People who were cadets twice, which means they have little experience on deck, become first mates. Then they begin to lead the deck crew, without listening to the performers. You mustn't argue. With tears, you do the work, covering the commings with your torso from splashes. They will ask who did it, but they will not ask who ordered it. The XO always wants to keep his reputation.

In my first company, the superintendent was smart, who worked for many years as a minder, and then as a chief mechanic - and therefore understood everything.

Previously, in the Navy, not a senior assistant, but a senior mechanic, was in charge of the deck. The deck should be in charge of the first officer, but if he is not a literate person, then the chief mech. They are required to properly control and understand: who is your experienced sailor. So that people speak the same technical language. But, none of the companies have anything to do with it. This is an urgent issue, this is a management crisis. It is beneficial for the shipowner to keep the ship in good condition. In order for the service to be carried out correctly, there must be at least two people - an experienced sailor and a chief mate or chief mech.

An illiterate boatswain often comes across, the sailors follow all his instructions in order to look good. The company always knows only the best and the worst. Everyone is afraid to be on the list. It is easier for a person to overspend - at the expense of the company than to do it right (repainting, preparing for painting, etc.)

For example, on "family" steamers during the day, in the heat, they can sit in the superstructure, and then paint at night - because people want to do everything in good conscience. And vice versa - at the equator (heat, 100% humidity) they give the command to wind rags and paint. You can also find other work that is not related to painting.

Why are the duties of the ratings not clearly indicated on the ship? Why does not a single shipowner decide who the drainage system is assigned to, the deck or the machine?

MP/MT: What other difficulties did you face at work?

Very often I had to work with equipment that did not have certificates: it was necessary to do the work, so they took a risk. Also, none of the crew is concerned about the separation of garbage (then it falls on the shoulders of the sailors and the boatswain). No senior officer on the ship has yet been able to solve this problem.

Periodic checks of the condition of the ballast tanks, which must be carried out by the chief officer with an assistant, are usually carried out by the assistant himself, or worse, not done at all.

There is a problem of competent distribution of working time in ports and at stops: almost all crew members are involved, although it is possible to give at least a rest to the helmsmen before leaving the port or after parking. Because there is always a lot of work both on deck and in the engine room in the port and during the stay.

Summing up the above, I want to say that you can work out the contract and return home exhausted mentally and physically, but you can only with a feeling of slight fatigue. A lot depends on the crew.

MP/MT: What are your plans for the future?

In the future, I want to become a senior mate. Working as a boatswain, I gain invaluable experience in managing the deck crew, with all the pitfalls that the first officer can face. There is a great desire not to look like an illiterate boss in the eyes of the deck crew.

With each new vessel comes new knowledge and it's great when you can learn and share experience.

• Boatswain (from Dutch Bootsman):

  Non-commissioned officer military rank of combatant, which existed in the Russian fleet and in the fleets of a number of countries of the world, as well as existing in the Navy and Navy of a number of modern states. In the Russian Imperial Navy (RIF) it was abolished after the October Revolution.

  The military position of non-commissioned officers of the naval service in the RIF and in the fleets of a number of countries of the world, as well as military officers of foremen and midshipmen (until 1943 - junior officers) of the naval service of the Navy of the USSR and the Russian Navy. In the composition of the crews of large warships, in most cases there is a boatswain team, consisting of several boatswains under the control of the chief boatswain, as a rule, from midshipmen or senior non-commissioned officers (warrant officers). In the RIF before the October Revolution, instead of the chief boatswain, there was the rank-position of senior boatswain.

  Position on ships of the civil fleet for junior management of the ship's crew.

  The position of the boatswain is the position of the senior combat non-commissioned officer. On the ship, the boatswain has seniority over all lower ranks, both combatant and non-combatant. The boatswain must know the names of all sailors and non-commissioned officers, their abilities and knowledge in maritime affairs, observe their behavior and, in addition, rigging, lifting weights, setting and lowering the spars, cleaning anchors, all equipment up to the armament of the ship, compass , control of the rudder and sails on boats in various situations, the basis of rail communication with the shore and methods of applying a patch to a hole. If there is a boatswain team on the ship, all boatswains from its composition, including their chief - the senior boatswain (chief boatswain), alternately keep watch. The boatswain on watch is called the watch boatswain. His duties include monitoring the good condition of the rigging used for lifting weights. During the trip, he inspects the spars every morning, when approaching the anchorage, he checks the readiness of the anchor equipment and manages the process of releasing the anchor as soon as the command of the ship's commander follows. Supervises the serviceable condition of the external appearance of the ship. During emergency work, the senior boatswain (chief boatswain) is on the forecastle. During emergency work, as well as during the general formation of the team on the upper deck, the senior boatswain (chief boatswain) assumes the duties of the watch boatswain.

  On merchant ships, the boatswain monitors the serviceability of ship's life-saving appliances, boat and anchor equipment, as well as their performance. Supervises the loading of heavy cargo and their fastening to the deck, distributes work among the sailors and monitors its implementation.

Such specialists on the ship are worth their weight in gold. Not a single commander will leave his ship even for a few days without his trusted boatswain, radiometer operator, acoustician, turbinist. And if such a specialist is still able to train and educate subordinates, to pass on his experience to young people, then they are talking about such a real foreman of the team, the “Gold Reserve”!

Chief boatswain - the most important foreman of the crew on the ship

All orders of the chief boatswain regarding compliance with the ship's rules and maintaining the appearance of the ship, the use of lifting devices, and on submarines - and the maintenance of the residential and amenity premises of the ship, coastal or floating base, are mandatory for midshipmen, foremen and sailors of the ship.

The Chief Bosun replies:

• for the maintenance of the upper deck, superstructures and sides of the ship;
• for the use of the ship's lifting devices, their timely inspection and testing;
• for the maintenance and use of mooring fenders;
• for providing painting work on the ship.

The chief boatswain is obliged: to know the structure of the ship, its main tactical and technical characteristics, means to ensure its unsinkability and fire safety, means of protection against weapons of mass destruction; placement of personnel on the ship; know the device, be able to operate and maintain the ship's anchor, towing and loading devices; keep anchors, anchor chains and their accessories, mooring fenders in good order and ready for action, supervise the laying of anchor chains and fastening of the chewing line; check the condition and completeness of ship's boats; be able to operate a boat and a boat; take measures to protect the premises of the ship from being flooded with water through hatches, doors and ventilation devices; control the condition and placement of life-saving equipment and storm lines; provide painting work on the ship; supervise the putting in order and cleaning of the exits to the upper deck, upper deck and superstructures, monitor the cleanliness of the outer side and the condition of the spars; when the ship is anchored in the road (at anchor or barrel), every day after finishing the tidying, go around the boat (boat) around the ship to inspect the outer side, outboard ladders, shots, anchor chain.

For all these duties, honor and respect to the boatswain; he takes a place in the midshipman's wardroom, similar to the place of the commander - in the officer's.

And the boatswain loves his ship, as a mother loves her child, cares and cherishes him. He does everything with love, glancing furtively at the neighboring ship - isn't it better painted? Isn't the ladder from the board to the gangway newer? Are boatswains so quick?

With a real boatswain, neither going “blindly” out of the base, nor sinking into the depths, nor surfacing “under the periscope” in a stormy ocean is scary - he “feels” the ship. It catches any of his movements and immediately corrects it, and the thousand-ton steel colossus obeys. A real boatswain - "Gold Reserve"!

Team Chief

As a rule, there is a division both "vertically" and "horizontally" - according to specialties. For example, the composition of the navigational combat unit includes two teams: steering-signalmen and navigation. They have different specialties, are responsible for different navigational weapons, perform different tasks according to ship schedules. Commands are led by foremen.

The foreman of the team reports to the commander of the group (battery, division, combat unit, head of service), is the direct head of the personnel of the team and is responsible: for the fulfillment of the assigned tasks by the team; for training, education, military discipline and the moral and psychological state of the team's personnel; for the operation and condition of weapons and technical means under the command of the team; for the service of ship outfits by subordinates and internal order in the team; for the safety and good condition of the property of the team.

The foreman of the team is obliged to: know the material part of the command of the team and manage its proper operation; train subordinates in the operation of weapons and technical means of the team and means of combating survivability, supervise the training of sailors by squad leaders, comply with safety requirements when handling weapons and technical means and during ship operations; know and report to the unit commander about the state of the weapons and technical means of the team, about all requests, successes and misconduct of subordinates; control the progress of the repair of weapons and technical equipment of the team carried out by repair organizations, and manage the repair carried out by subordinate personnel; require subordinates to observe the daily routine, uniforms, ship rules, to educate them in organization and accuracy, exemplification, truthfulness, the desire to master technology, love for the ship and naval service; constantly know where subordinates are and what they are doing, immediately report to the unit commander about all incidents in the team; keep clean and tidy the premises under the command of the team; take care of subordinates and delve into their needs, control the timeliness of the receipt of the required allowances by personnel; to control the sequence of appointment of sailors as commanders of departments in ship and special outfits, inspect the assigned daily outfit of the crew before the divorce, instruct him, check his knowledge of his duties and timely send him for divorce; supervise the morning inspection and evening verification (at sea).

The foreman of the team is the best expert on his specialty on the ship; he is the first adviser to the commander of the combat unit in all matters relating to the maintenance of the material part of weapons, weapons and technical equipment. He is the hope and support of the warhead commander, and sometimes the entire crew, when precise and correct actions, knowledge of technology, technological processes, ingenuity and experience are needed.
