Container Ship Jobs

Everything a seafarer needs to know about working on container ships - what they carry, the crew they hire, and how to get discovered.

What these ships do

Container ships carry cargo in standardised boxes stacked in holds and on deck. Fast port turnarounds, container lashing, and reefer-container monitoring define the work.

Crew and ranks needed

Container ships hire full crews; ETOs and reefer-competent engineers are valued for the reefer plugs and automation.

Certificates that help

Standard STCW; lashing and reefer-monitoring experience is a plus.
