The Electro-Technical Officer (ETO) is an authorized individual from the motor division of a dealer send according to Section An III/6 of the STCW Code. [1]
The Marine Electrical Engineer is one of the most essential situations in the specialized chain of importance of a ship and is compelled for their doled out work under the Chief Engineer's diagram. ETO deal with a key job in the Senior Management Team and reports legitimately to Chief Engineer.
Dissimilar to other marine builds, the ETO doesn't do an appointed Engine room "watch" rather they are typically available to come back to work 24 hours every day and for the most part work a day by day move completing electrical and electronic support, fixes, finding, establishments and testing.
Some delivery organizations don't convey Electrical Engineer Officers/ETO on their ship to chop down the keeping an eye on cost, and the electrical obligations are conveyed by a Marine Engineer - as a rule the Third Engineer. Notwithstanding, this circumstance has changed a ton and numerous organizations have understood that cutting edge electrical and electronic frameworks require additional consideration and subsequently require a specialist to go to them. This is particularly valid on diesel-electric boats or vessels furnished with complex frameworks, for example, dynamic situating.
As the innovation progresses, more robotization and electronic circuits are supplanting customary and electrical frameworks. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) altered STCW 95 (otherwise called the Manila Amendment) on June 25, 2010, to present the guaranteed situation of Electro-specialized officials instead of Electrical officials so as to make current Electrical Engineers skillful to get mind-boggling and refined electrical frameworks.
On bigger vessels, for example, voyage delivers or concentrated seaward DP vessels, Electro-Technical Officers can include positions inside their calling, such position names incorporate, lead ETO, first Electrician, boss electrical official or boss electrical specialist. In this circumstance, the most elevated positioned Electro-Technical official will report legitimately to the main specialist. On extraordinary class ships, for example, FPSOs the Electro-Technical official can at times gain as much as possible because of the multifaceted nature of frameworks locally available, anyway for the most part this individual is likewise expected to have extra capabilities which have some expertise in procedure designing, instrumentation, and control.
