How much do sprat jobs pay per hour?
What is a sprat?
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a sprat, and why are they important?
What is the difference between Sprat vs Deckhand?
| Aspect | Sprat | Deckhand |
|---|---|---|
| Required Certifications | Basic safety training, STCW certifications | Basic safety training, STCW certifications |
| Work Environment | On fishing vessels, commercial ships | On ships, yachts, or commercial vessels |
| Industry Usage | Fishing industry, maritime transport | Maritime transport, cruise lines, yachting |
Both Sprats and Deckhands work in maritime environments and often hold similar certifications. However, Sprats typically refer to entry-level crew members on fishing vessels, focusing on fishing operations. Deckhands work across various types of ships, including cargo, cruise, and private yachts, performing general deck duties. While their roles overlap in safety training and work environment, Sprats are more specialized in fishing, whereas Deckhands have broader responsibilities across different vessel types.
What are sprat jobs?
SPRAT jobs include a variety of positions that use rope and additional equipment as part of their daily operations, usually in regards to climbing in rough terrain for various purposes. In these roles, you may conduct maintenance to ensure all rope accesses are in good condition, check for safety problems, and perform physical or visual examinations of systems. SPRAT jobs may require skills to traverse ropes horizontally, vertically, or both. These jobs usually, but do not always, involve working at heights. SPRAT is not actually a job title—it stands for the Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians and indicates one of two common certifications for rope access technicians. Most employers also accept the other common certification, IRATA.
