In the earliest days, there was no marine electrical specialty, but there was a motor officer specialty, which was mainly responsible for the maintenance of ship electrical equipment.
Later, when the crew was streamlined, the motor officer was canceled, and the third officer and second officer were in charge of their work.
In recent years, the degree of ship automation is getting higher and higher, the engineman can not meet the requirements of ship operation, then began to pay attention to the ship's electrical, and set up the ship's electrical specialty, after the formal transfer of the equivalent of the second tube ship treatment.
Now the Maritime Administration's professional requirements are generally nautical technology and engine engineering, I think the ship electrical can be attributed to the scope of the engine engineering, but there are some limitations, because only understand the electrical equipment, do not understand the operation and maintenance of machinery.
