Familiarity with on-board safety equipment, electronic chart systems, and radio communication tools is typically required. Strong situational awareness, teamwork, and effective communication skills are vital when coordinating with offshore installation teams and other crew members. These qualifications and abilities ensure safe, efficient, and reliable transport of personnel and equipment to and from offshore facilities, often under challenging weather and sea conditions.
