A quick definition of ordinary seaman:

An ordinary seaman is a person who works on a ship but is not an officer. They help the ship to function and complete its mission. If they get hurt while working, they are protected by the law. An ordinary seaman is not as experienced as an able-bodied seaman, who is certified to do all seaman's duties. A merchant seaman is a sailor who works on a private ship, not in public or military service.

A more thorough explanation:

An ordinary seaman is a crew member of a navigating vessel who is below the rank of officer and contributes to the function of the vessel or the accomplishment of its mission. They have some experience but are not proficient enough to be classified as an able-bodied seaman.

  • John is an ordinary seaman on a cargo ship. He helps with tasks like cleaning, painting, and loading and unloading cargo.
  • Sarah is an ordinary seaman on a fishing boat. She helps with tasks like setting and hauling in nets, cleaning fish, and maintaining equipment.

These examples illustrate that ordinary seamen are important members of a ship's crew who perform various tasks to ensure the smooth operation of the vessel. They may not have as much experience or training as able-bodied seamen, but they still play a crucial role in the functioning of the ship.
