2nd Officer Chemical Tanker Jobs
What a 2nd Officer does on a Chemical Tanker, the endorsements you need, and how to get hired for chemical tanker contracts.
The role on a Chemical Tanker
As a 2nd Officer on a Chemical Tanker, you keep the navigation watch and manage passage planning and safety equipment - with the specialised focus that comes with multi-grade liquid chemical cargoes with strict compatibility and tank-cleaning demands. Owners running chemical tankers prefer officers who already know the ship type and hold the right endorsements, so vessel-specific experience is a real advantage.
What you need
A valid Second Mate (Foreign Going) Certificate of Competency, a full current STCW suite, and Advanced Chemical Tanker Cargo Operations. A valid medical certificate and relevant sea time complete the picture.
