Seafarer Ranks

The Seafarer Ranks function lets you change our system's abbreviations to your own if you have ones you prefer to use. Here’s how to do that.

Understanding your Seafarer Ranks page

Log into your Martide account, click Settings in the drop down menu under your profile picture and then Seafarer Ranks:

Here you can:

  • See all the ranks in the system and their abbreviations.
  • Edit existing ranks by clicking the pen icon.
  • Change the order the ranks are listed by dragging and dropping the 3 lines and then clicking Save The Order.

You can see from the image above, in Martide our abbreviation for Chief Officer is C/O and our abbreviation for Second Officer is 2/O etc.

How to edit a rank

Click the pen icon next to the rank you want to change. You will see this pop-up box. We're going to edit the Chief Cook (C/COOK):

Here you can:

  • See the original rank name; i.e. Chief Cook. You cannot change this.
  • See the name of the rank. Our default is the same as the original name but you can change this to whatever you want.
  • See the abbreviation for the rank - in this case it is C/COOK but you can change this to whatever you want.

For example, if your company uses Cook instead of Chief Cook you can change it like this:
