2.) Calling by First Name
For a more cordial relationship among the crew, it is best to call each other by their first name. However, the Sr. Officers on board that is the Master, Chief Engineer, Chief Officer and Second Engineer should be addressed by all the crew as Sir or Ma’am at all times as much as possible.

3.) Be a True Sport and a Gentleman
For a crew complement with mix genders on board, in cases, where one of the single crew member, have already signified his noble intentions and expressed his feelings of admiration to a single female colleague, please be prudent enough and learn to give way. Kindly, wait for your turn to express your feelings. If the attempt to win her heart failed, then take your chance, but first graciously ask if he still has plans to pursue it or simply give it up. Never compete for her attention, at the same time. Likewise, respect her choice. Some guys, have all the luck, just accept her decision with an open mind and wish them well instead. Simply, wait for the next crew change, or your vacation, who knows a better woman waits for you ashore.
Please try to behave as mature adults and avoid derogatory comments, name calling or tagging your fellow crew members based from their imperfections. Bullying is an act that reflects a negative attitude on board and can give the impression that you are a trouble maker. Some who were victims of bullies leads to social exclusion or isolation. Those who bullies sometimes inflicts harm to others such as kicking, shoving and spitting , and this acts somehow indicates a psychological disorder in a person.
