Travel Info Does anyone know how many crew members it takes to man a ocean or lake freighter? Travel Tips [1] Great Lakes freighters: >Largest are 1,000 feet long >Cargo weighs up to 70,000 tons >Crews range from 21 to 27 people [2] Ocean freighters come in many sizes. One example I found was the Katrin S, a Caribbean container ship: "The Katrin S. had a total of 6 officers and 12 crew working on board. The officers can be thought of as the 鈥渕anagement鈥?of the ship, while the crew can be thought of as 鈥渓abor鈥? It is not uncommon for a person occupying a crew position to advance to the officer level as experience is gained over the years." Source(s): [1] http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006...
