The marine crew can generally be divided into four main categories: the bridge, the deck, the engineering department and the steward's department. Depending on the type of rig, you may find all or only some of the following personnel working on a rig. Given that their duties are solely to do with the running of the vessel and not the drilling of the well, they nearly always will come from a marine industry background rather than a drilling industry background.

Captain/Master

The “captain” or “master” is the vessels highest responsible officer, acting on behalf of the rig’s owner. The captain is legally responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the rig as they are in command. It is their responsibility to ensure that all the departments under them perform legally to the requirements of the ship's owner.

The captain/master will have his own cabin on the rig that contains his bedroom and office. He’ll generally work out of here with his job involving mainly administrative duties, which keeps him tied to a computer for much of the day. Like all senior roles on a rig, he gets heavily bogged down with daily reports, on-site meetings, phone calls, conference calls and emails.
