How Marine Engineering works in SkillScorer
Score
Each crew member in a vessel is scored on the Marine Engineering skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank crew members, compare two side by side, or compare your vessels against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Marine Engineering skills need attention. Reports also follow each chief officer's vessel.
Marine Engineering scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Marine Engineering scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Marine Engineering scorecard covers 12 skills: Main Engine Operation and Monitoring, Auxiliary Machinery and Systems, Engine Room Watchkeeping, Fault Diagnosis and Repair, Planned Maintenance System, Fuel and Lubricant Management, Electrical and Automation Knowledge, Pollution Prevention, Engine Room Safety and Fire Response, Documentation and Reporting, Team Leadership and Spare Parts and Stores. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are crew members scored in Marine Engineering?
Every crew member is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one vessel and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Marine Engineering?
Marine Engineering starts with these levels (called “Rank” in the app): Cadet, Fourth Engineer, Third Engineer, Second Engineer and Chief Engineer. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Marine Engineering skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In maritime & shipping the app talks about crew members, vessels and chief officers, and you can change any of those words too.
