Chief Officer Adventure on RoPax!

Tired of the same old watch routine? Looking to actually lead a team and not just fill out forms? We’re looking for a Chief Officer with brains, brawn, and ballast skills to join our RoPax vessel.

Ahoy there, First Mates of Morocco!

Are you tired of drifting from job to job? Looking for a gig where you’re not just managing ballast water and mooring ropes, but leading a solid crew on a vessel that carries both cars and humans?

We’re on the hunt for a Chief Officer who knows their port and starboard, can handle a tight schedule, and still crack a joke during fire drills.

If so, then you could be the newest addition to our team.

Be part of the movement - and play your part.

About the role  

Your Mission (should you choose to accept it):

  • Keep the ship and the team ship-shape and smiling.
  • Be the Captain’s right hand (and sometimes left hand too).
  • Navigate like a pro, even when the GPS has "lost signal".
  • Master the fine art of loading cars and passengers without turning it into a puzzle game.
  • Keep everyone safe, trained, and out of trouble.
  • Fill out paperwork without falling asleep.
  • Walking smiling to your apartments and back while off duty.

  • Leadership skills – aka you know how to manage people without mutiny
