💡 A Word from JOBPLOY
Offshore longline fishing is a task that requires significant concentration and physical strength, as it involves baiting, casting and hauling lines, and separating and sorting catches for long hours at sea. Since there are many processes involving handling hooks or lines on a swaying boat, it is essential to always wear protective equipment and strictly follow safety rules on board to prevent injuries. In addition, since a small number of crew members work together in a narrow vessel, smooth communication and consideration for the captain and colleagues are important, and health management and coping with seasickness are essential to adapt to the maritime working environment.
