How to Promote or Demote a Seafarer

Written by Eve Church

If one of your seafarers has been promoted (or demoted) you will need to create a new embarkation record for them. Here’s how.

Login to your Martide account and go to the Planning page:

Use the search filters to find the vessel that the promoted/demoted seafarer is on:

When your vessel has loaded, double click on the seafarer’s name. (Onboard seafarers are green):

When you click on the seafarer’s name it opens this box:

Click the Change Rank button. That will open this box, where you can change the rank and add the date the new rank becomes effective and the estimated disembarkation date:

Next go to the seafarer’s profile page.

Tip: The quickest way to do this is to double click on the seafarer’s name in Planning again and then on their name under their profile picture as seen in the fourth image above.

The new rank will show on the Overview of the seafarer’s details:

Now scroll down to the Employment section and you will see an entry for the promotion:

Now you need to add a new contract for this position. Scroll down to the Employment Contracts section:

Click the Add Contract button to upload the new contract:

  • Select the vessel and start date of the promotion from the drop-down menu.

  • Enter the rest of the details.

  • Upload a copy of the contract and click Save.
