At 9:03 in the morning, in the third interview room of Qingdao Port Ocean Crew Recruitment Center, the air-conditioned wind swept the table with the salty and humid smell of the sea breeze. Xiao Tucci tapped the blue file folder in front of him with his fingertips and looked up at the middle-aged man sitting opposite. The man was wearing a sailor's suit that had been washed white, with frayed cuffs. He rubbed his hands repeatedly on his knees, but his eyes occasionally glanced at the "Ocean" freighter parked outside the window - it was the target ship for his interview, and it was also one of the key ships Xiao Tucci was responsible for personnel deployment.
"Master Wang, your resume states that you have been the chief engineer of Bohai No. 3 For five years," Xiao Tuqi's voice was low, but with a calmness that made people unconsciously concentrate. "But I see that your engine operation certificate was due for annual review in December last year. Why haven't you reissued it now?"
Master Wang's face turned red instantly, and his Adam's apple twitched: "Assistant Xiao, it's not that I don't want to make up for it. I docked in Singapore at the end of last year and was stranded for three months due to the epidemic. When I came back, the annual review agency had stopped. I thought... I thought about interviewing first and taking the time to make up for it after I get on the ship."
Xiao Tuqi did not immediately refute, but took out an orange-covered "Ocean-going Crew Qualification Management Manual" from the drawer, turned to page 37 and pushed it over: "Look here, according to Article 12 of the "International Maritime Crew Qualification Regulations", certificates that have not been reviewed on time are considered invalid. Even if they are on board, once they are randomly inspected by the Maritime Safety Administration, the entire ship will be detained. And the "Ocean" will go through the Suez Canal next month, and the inspection there is three times stricter than in China."
