The responsibility is considerable and the consequences of error can be collision or grounding as a result of operational mistakes, carelessness or a wrong interpretation of the radar display. NCI OPs are subject to limited space, lack of privacy and irregular meal hours and rest periods which are part of serving at sea. As with all seagoing personnel, NCI OPs are sailors first, operators second. In addition to their occupation-related duties, junior operators in particular, are employed in out-of-occupation duties such as cleaning and painting the ship, working in the cafeteria, standing sentry duty or loading supplies.
