About the promotion to captain in the Navy


Foreign companies that know how to count money better than us do not keep mentor captains. Such legalized schooling on the scale of the ministry also has a negative social effect, because it makes the employee's promotion dependent on the ambitions of the examiner, and also entails additional costs for the shipping company, which provides the employee with up to 10 paid days to pass the technical minimum. In the industry as a whole, this can amount to a substantial amount.


When promoted to captain, administrative games at the expense of the state are even more curious. After the performance already described, the process of the so-called "run-in" of the young captain takes place with the technical minimum, during which, on a voyage, usually a short one, the captain-mentor must determine the "practical suitability" of the skipper. The apotheosis called "approval" in the shipping company ends at the party committee, which in the conditions of perestroika raises the question: what if the applicant is not a member of the CPSU, but, say, of the Democratic Union, he cannot be a captain? How can political views influence professional skills? The history of our society shows that the preference of the so-called "political maturity" of production managers for their abilities in appointments was one of the reasons for the plight of the economy.


All this gala presentation of approval by the captains ends in Moscow. The exams are taken here by the captains-mentors of the Ministry. It remains unclear whether they want to emphasize the professional inadequacy of their colleagues from the shipping company or their own need for the fleet, being 600 km from the nearest sea coast. In the end, the newly minted captains are personally approved by the minister. One can only guess what this parade-alley costs the state, during which dozens of people break away from work, money is spent on business trips, etc. Foreign shipowners do not have such rituals, but nevertheless their captains are no worse than ours.


Here it will be useful to recall how the institute of captains-mentors arose. It appeared after the war in connection with the increase in the fleet due to reparations and the lack of professional personnel as a result of losses not so much due to the war as due to repression. To compensate for these losses, a training and course complex was created, which in a few months trained sailors and boatswains as assistants to captains, and in order to bring them up to standard, captains-mentors were sent on a voyage with them.


For a long time now, we have boatmasters with higher and secondary education in abundance, but the rudimentary institute remains. The administration is satisfied with this — a septic tank has appeared for people with a captain's diploma who arrived from foreign work, retired from elected bodies, etc.


And take the parliamentary campaigns that are in full swing. For example, the shipping company holds a weekly theatrical performance under the pretentious name "vowel Wednesday", where scenes of the administration's love for workers are played out. To do this, several hundred employees are voluntarily forced into the hall. But the management, apparently, is not enough to detach managers from the business. Give him "people from production". Often, upon arrival at the home port, a courier arrives on the ship with a prescription of the type: "Tomorrow at 10.00 the Shipping Board, at 13.00 — a lecture for the management staff on the economy in the conditions of independence of enterprises. Your attendance is mandatory." Diligent officials are ready to put the entire fleet on a joke, just to ensure one hundred percent attendance at events.
