Taiwan Province Province Convergence News Network reporter Lan/comprehensive report
How to treat "running a boat"? Is it hard and dangerous to leave home for a few months? Or can you travel around the world and enjoy the floating marine life blown by the sea breeze?
China Business Sea, the full name of "China Commercial Maritime Vocational School", entered the campus for the first time. After seeing the instructor and his classmates clean up the environment in front of the school, they warmly welcomed us into the campus. Later, Acting President Li Li and Secretary-General Xie came to meet us.
When I first came to China Business Sea, I might feel that the campus occupied a little small, but it will take a lot of time to really walk through the campus. It is a school overlooking Keelung Island.

The main disciplines of China Business Sea are navigation, marine engineering and catering. "There are not many schools with these three subjects nationwide," said Li Li, acting principal. China Business Sea is the only private maritime school in Taiwan Province Province. "The government is also subsidizing and supporting this industry. With the support of the government, students can get considerable tuition and fees subsidies * (see the end of the article for details), and we also provide accommodation-free dormitories. 」
"Merchant Marine Training School": STCW who holds the B-level certificate of international seafarers before graduation.
President Li explained that students will get a B-class international seaman's certificate before graduation, and only with this certificate can they embark on the ship to engage in shipping work. According to the statistics of the transportation department, the starting salary of new seafarers generally falls between 96,000 and 65,438+046,000 yuan, and the starting salary of ocean-going seafarers is between 65,438+020 and 65,438+046,000 yuan. (NT$ 1 = 0.2277, that is, NT$120,000 is about RMB27,000), which is much higher than that of ordinary industries. "This will be a good choice when the overall environment is not so prosperous. 」

When it comes to industry competition, President Li bluntly said that due to the special majors, the employment market for students after graduation is also relatively specific, and the competitive pressure is not great. "Taiwan Province Province needs about15,000 crew members, but in fact there are only more than 4,000 crew members from Taiwan Province Province. 」
Li Li, Acting President of China Shanghai
In addition, the licensed consortium legal person China Aviation Industry Personnel Training Center is located in the park of China Shanghai. The training center has passed ISO900 1 international certification and "Maritime Training Center" certification. Compared with other schools, China Business Sea has the advantage of enjoying resources, which is beneficial to our students.
Navigation part: working on deck and engine part: working under deck.
Chen Huiqing, head of the enrollment group of China Shanghai, described China Shanghai as "a school specializing in training merchant seamen". She explained to us that most people may have better ideas about catering, but they are not so clear about navigation and marine engineering. She described navigation as "work on deck" and marine engineering as "work under deck".

Mr. Zhang, a navigation teacher and first-class captain of China Shanghai, explained that he was the third mate when he first boarded the ship, in charge of survival, fire fighting, signals and administrative documents; The second officer is responsible for navigation, charts, navigation instruments and medical first aid drugs; The first mate belongs to the crew at the management level, that is, the administrative supervisor on board, and is also the most important part of cargo operation.
The highest is the captain, the captain of a ship. "Now that I have learned the orthodox education in maritime affairs, I will move in the direction of taking the A-class seafarers. After becoming a captain, I can also be a pilot. If I can't adapt to life at sea, I can also be transferred to the management department of onshore service. The complementarity between ship and shore is also a very complete human resource for the country. 」

When it comes to "piloting", no matter the captain, the headmaster or other teachers, their eyes are sharp. They explained that it is not simple or enviable for sailors to be pilots. Pilotage annual salary can exceed10 million yuan (converted into more than 2 million yuan). There are less than 100 people engaged in this kind of work in Taiwan Province province, but it is not easy to become a pilot only after three years of experience as a captain and passing the national examination and internship.
Pilotage, as its name implies, is to guide ships in and out of the port. "It's a bit like ... stopping for a footman?" , "park, park! A group of teachers jokingly explained to us, but they did not forget to remind us that pilotage is a highly professional job, and high salary is accompanied by high risks. If you misjudge the timing, you will be injured in the sea and you will face the risk of death. Behind the mysterious high-paying job, there is no free lunch.
The captain went on talking about life at sea. Each shift is 8 hours, divided into two periods, each with 4 hours, all in three shifts. After eight hours, the rest is my leisure time. There are swimming pools, gyms, books and magazines on board, and even some shipping companies have been able to let the crew surf the Internet and use LINE and Facebook. The distance between them and their family and friends on the shore is not as far as before. Speaking of seasickness, Captain Zhang smiled heroically and said, "It's as big as a merchant ship now! Seriously, few people get seasick. 」
However, captain Zhang also admitted that the life of the crew is not that they can go to various countries and travel everywhere after landing. Unlike in the past, they are subject to the norms and constraints of international conventions, and there are more and more inspections of ships, such as port state control (PSC) inspections, or inspections of ships, hulls and documents. As long as these inspections have shortcomings, they will only be corrected before sailing.
On the other hand, President Li also explained to us that the main work under the deck-the engine is to learn how to make the ship run normally, so the students have learned the widest range of skills, "such as welding, gas welding, lathe work, locksmith, water and electricity piping, ship electromechanical, boiler, etc." With the permit, the market scope of students' employment will become very large, which is quite secure for their children's future. In particular, he mentioned that He Laoshi, a marine engineering student, won the "Golden Hand Award" in the vocational skills competition of senior high schools in Taiwan in the 105 academic year, and now she is going to Germany to take part in technical and vocational studies.
The Golden Hand Award can be used as a condition for selecting outstanding students for further study. Among them, the winners of the Golden Hand Award subsidized by the New Taipei Municipal Government went to Germany and Japan for further study and received professional guidance and workplace experience.

President Li went on to talk about the catering department of the ordinary class. He mentioned that there are many schools with catering departments in Taiwan Province Province, but they must receive basic training for sailors before they graduate from China Commercial University. After obtaining the relevant license, you can serve on the ship. This is the biggest feature of China's business.
As for the catering department of the teaching class, it is a guarantee for students with financial difficulties. The school arranges students to practice in cooperative manufacturers that have passed the evaluation of the Ministry of Education, and adopts the mode of three-month workplace internship and three-month school class. During the internship, there is a monthly living allowance * (see the end of the article for details).
In addition, students majoring in navigation and marine engineering in Huashang University can take the "Yu Ying II" student internship ship of the Ministry of Education to Japan for free and take the Taihua ship to Penghu for teaching and sightseeing. For students, it is a very rare experience to study on board while traveling.
In general, the salary is generally low, so you can learn a skill to sail.
I have talked with the headmaster, the team leader and the teacher of navigation and marine engineering, and I can realize that the teacher is very attentive to the students and the students who are practicing are also very hard. Unlike ordinary high school students, their future is more clear and concrete.
In the process of talking with teachers, "salary" is an incentive that is constantly mentioned. Some people may think it is too realistic and practical, but life does bite. Young people in Taiwan Province Province are facing the general problem of low wages. With the stagnation of the global economy, the repetition and reproduction of classes, the widening gap between the rich and the poor, and the proliferation of universities, all the doctrines of entering a higher school and turning over after studying have become a myth of the past. Some people describe those who were born/lived in this era when they can't afford to buy a house, get married, raise children and their wages are declining, as a "world-weary generation".
Maybe we should think about it. By "regulating" all children, educating them to "focus on after school", depriving them of the talents they may have, and making them "successful people" in society, are they really happier and really better off? How many children who have been suppressed by the doctrine of further studies have heard that "if you don't study hard, you will work/be a black hand/run a boat". Is there nothing wrong with such a warning and such a prejudice? Don't you need to change it
In the comic book One Piece, the protagonist Lu Fu and his party set sail in search of the great secret treasure One Piece. In real life, this huge secret treasure may be the high salary envied by the outside world, or it may be the truth gradually realized in life at sea. Either way, they must have some truth and value to pursue.
What the environment in Taiwan Province Province needs more is to get rid of the past concept of high education and professional prejudice. We should realize that no matter what profession, there must be a profession worthy of people's respect and respect, and their unknown and hard-working past. If most people in society can gradually realize this, I believe it will bring more positive changes to Taiwan Province Province.

About the pilot project in Taiwan Province Province.
A monthly salary of 400,000 is not a dream! What are the most enviable job requirements of crew and port?
A ship's steering must have quite professional skills. No matter the wind direction or current, it may easily make the ship deviate from its original track. Not to mention that each port has its own special geography, climate, walrus, water depth and laws and regulations. Once ships of different sizes and functions around the world are ready to dock, it can be said that the port waters are particularly prone to shipwreck accidents. Therefore, ships from foreign countries often need a captain who is familiar with the port situation when they enter the port, so as to reduce accidents and berth safely. These are the main duties of the pilot.
The history of this "water diversion" system can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome. Some experienced captains (usually local fishermen) in the harbor will be hired by ships that want to enter the dock to let the goods on board enter the port and unload smoothly. Of course, in addition to navigation safety, the "compulsory water diversion" regulation in most countries also means a symbol of sovereignty that guides local countries to enter Hong Kong. Therefore, when a ship enters the port, it is usually necessary to raise three flags: the national flag of the local country, the yellow flag approved by customs clearance, and the H-shaped red and white pilot flag to confirm that the pilot of the country has carried out safe entry on board.
For example, in April of 1950, China promulgated the Interim Measures for the Administration of Import and Export of Foreign Ships, which determined that the behavior of foreign pilots was an infringement of China's water diversion right, and changed the free water diversion originally decided by foreign ships into compulsory water diversion. In March of the following year, 195 1, the Shanghai Municipal People's Government took over the Sha Tong Water Diversion Association, which had monopolized Shanghai Port for a long time, and dismissed the last British pilot in June, which ended the situation that foreigners held the water diversion right in Shanghai for a hundred years in one fell swoop and was regarded as the recovery and re-extension of China's sovereignty.
As for the "pilot", it is generally considered to be either "in charge of navigation" or "making suggestions during navigation". Once the pilot union receives the notice from the port authority, the pilot on duty goes out to sea by boat, arrives at the big ship to be docked in the port, climbs the rope ladder to board the ship by hand and takes over the subsequent berthing operation. Therefore, pilots with high technical ability and experience are paid by the piece. The price of each ship ranges from 6000 to 9000, and at least 500,000 to 600,000 a month. It is said that when the economy was booming, the monthly salary of pilots in Keelung Port could reach more than one million.
Looking at the training process of pilots, applicants must first graduate from navigation-related majors and pass the qualification examination of the third mate on board, and then have the opportunity to be promoted to the second mate and first mate after two years of practical experience, and then obtain the qualification and license of captain. After that, you must have more than 3 years of experience as a captain of a large ship with a gross tonnage of 10000 tons before you have the opportunity to apply for a pilot. However, the monopoly of pilot license issuance often causes criticism, and even some airlines think that there is a lack of competitive pilots, and their service efficiency and attitude are not good; Therefore, in 2003, the Examinations Institute relaxed the "limited quota" pilot special examination into a "qualification examination" with the statement of "returning to the market mechanism".
Although the qualification examination is just like the issuance of a license, obtaining a license does not mean that you can enter the port area for employment and work, but you must wait until the job vacancy is released before you can notify the replacement. 10 years ago, there were only about 80 pilots in the country. At that time, there were 42 pilots in Kaohsiung Port, but now it has been reduced to about 40. Therefore, the enviable high income of pilots lies not only in the need of high technology and related professional knowledge in the industry, but also in the monopoly of the port labor market-"labor cartel" is the main reason for high salary, and even now it is still in a monopoly labor cartel state. Although the income in recent years has greatly decreased with the decrease of the number of ships entering Hong Kong, there is still a high salary of 300,000-400,000 yuan.
