We had a video posted from a merchant vessel not so recently. They have a 4-8 watch, a 8-12 and a 12-4 watch where juniors learn on the 4 to 8 watch, which happens twice daily. This works pretty well compared to the U.S. Navy. I don't hear a lot about merchant seamen needing more training budget or needing to use pen and paper.


They also have a much simpler ship to deal with.


More fancy things but its still a boat in the water with a rudder and propellors that's moving.


So is a pontoon boat but that doesn't mean there's much useful comparison to extract between them.
