Why Captain’s cabin is always on starboard side ?

hello sir, iam following all ur blogs, after sailing for so many years, i never thought why captai cabin in stbd side. very impressive explanations, i need more blogs from u sir. So that we can gain ur knoweldge & experience. your blogs are so nice & very easy to understand

hello sir. im a filipino seafarer and ive been following your blogs. i find yours very useful! i am very thankful that a great captain like you share your knowledge to the young and future generation of seafarers. more power!

i only got a suggestion sir if you could write an article about how new seafarers should start their seafaring career (mindset, goals, etc) especially these days that we are exposed with so many requirements, laws, compliance, which are to be strictly followed and shipping industry is shifting into faster pace every year. New generation of seafarers in the industry might not be able to keep up with this pace and might give up seafaring career at the early stage.

Hi captain, I'm a Chinese third mate, found your blog when searching 'update AVCS with JRC901B ECDIS' and i kept reading other blogs, i like those researches on things we took for granted and professional knowledge-to-plain words transfer style narrative is very easy to absorb, big fan now~

Apart from the RoR aspect, another explanation would be that by general convention on ships, things on the starboard side are odd numbered and those on port side are even numbered. For e.g., starboard lifeboat is always no.1, and the port one is no. 2, on container ships the rows are numbered 1,3,5 on the starboard side and 2,4,6 on port side, etc. Similarly, the Master being rank no.1 (highest) on the ship, it's fitting that his cabin too be on the starboard side of the ship.

when i was starting my seafarer career. someone told me that captains cabin is in stbd side because he is always right.

Nice. N insightful. Pls can u drop more light on key types of documents a third mate is supposed to prepare before n after leaving port. Thanks captain

Hello Captain.How can you become a good Captain?

Dear Captain.how many types of Navigations really exist?thanks and remain blessed

I am new 3rd officer from Burma. Could you tell me the differences between Resolution and Recommendations.

Good day sir, my doubt is why the rescue boat on most of the ships I've seen so far is on the starboard side? thanks

As we know that Captain is the highest responsible holder on board vessel (even while getting rest inside the cabin). so in my opinion why Captains cabin ussualy at starboard side is to allow him to do cursory observation in regard to vessels which is closed at his starboard side relate to COLREG rule 15.

Once i asked to one captain about this, and he replied "because the Chieff Engineer's cabin is on port side"

Hi Sir! It is nice to learn many things from your blogs. Can we have few learnings regarding Manning of vessels like vessels SMD, SEAFARERS MANDATORY courses, etc. It would be good please

Well said Capt.

Dear sir, Can you please explain how to go about ODME failure and hiw to go about decanting with inoperative ODMCS.

Well said Sir, You are really doing great job by sharing your knowledge with fellow seafarers. My heartfelt thanks on that. Also sir can you enlighten also as to why the stbd side anchor has more shackles than port side? Thanks in advance..

Dear sir, can we make a masters review on sms even if there is still another pending? It means that the company has not yet acted upon previous masters review. Thank you

Simple ways for byheart days work method

It is basically due to the Capt is always "Right"

Another interesting explanation to why that side of the ship is called " Starboard " . Well in the days of sailing ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean from England to America, they would try and keep the ship on 50 degrees latitude ( parallel sailing) throughout. For this the star Polaris had to be kept abeam and at 50 degrees altitude from the horizon. The navigator would stand on a board fixed on the gunwale on that side to observe the pole star ( Polaris) and thus the name STARBOARD!

Hello sir, I have a doubt far so many days can u plz tell me exactly why steering degrees of 30-35degrees in 28seconds why not 35-35 or 30-30 why it's 35-30 in 28 what is the exact reason behind it sir

Hey captain. I have a guess, which dates back to the viking era, when they used to use the stars for navigation the captain would always be facing the stars and maybe the tradition just carried on from there? Again its just a guess, and thanks for the insightful blogs. Have a good day where ever you are.

I have alternative explanations for why the starboard side is called the starboard side and how that relates to both COLREGS Rule 15 and the location of the Captain\'s cabin. In the early days of sailing vessels rudders were not hung on the centerline. Rather, the \"steering board\" was usually suspended off the right side of the vessel. This gave the helmsman better visibility to the right side which also gave him the better ability to avoid a collision if another vessel was approaching from that side. The helmsman of the other vessel might not even be able to see to the left side of his vessel due to the sail or some other visual obstruction. \"Steering board\" gave us the term \"starboard\" while also establishing what is still the fundamental principle in the COLREGS: namely that the vessel which is better able to maneuver to avoid a collision is the vessel which has the primary responsibility to do so. If two vessels have the same ability to maneuver, then the deciding factor is which vessel has the other to the starboard side. Given that visibility from modern vessels, as well as their maneuverability is almost always the same from starboard to port, the \"burdened to starboard\" rule might seem arbitrary but it is really carried down from the early days of sailing vessels. Finally, the Captain\'s cabin is to the starboard side so that he can look out the window to check up on the deck watch officer. At any rate, that\'s my story and I am sticking to it.
