Logos Hope Engineering Needs

Last updated 09 March 2012

Logos Hope is still in need of qualified marine engineers to operate and maintain this 132.5 meter long, 12,519 GRT vessel.

The opportunities

We have been praying for marine engineers who have a proven competence in machinery maintenance and repair:
1) We need a permanent Chief Engineer to join us as soon as possible, or two or three who would be ready to regularly rotate.
2) We are still in need of an additional 1st or 2nd Engineer (STCW Reg III/2) with experience to take responsibility as soon as possible for maintenance of the main engines.
The need for two additional 3rd Engineers will be met by June - we are thankful for this answer to prayer.

The vessel

The vessel features a mix of older equipment and machinery as well as newer technology.

Logos Hope was built in 1973 as a ferry and underwent major renovations between 2004 and 2009 to transform it into a passenger ship.
The 9 deck vessel is equipped with 4 main engines producing a total of 11,768 kW and three generators for power supply, auxiliary equipment and air-conditioning.
See this page for more detailed specifications.

The vessel spends one to four weeks in each port of call and sails internationally.

The team

You will be working together with qualified marine engineers and a team of onboard trained engine room watchkeepers. All the crew on board work voluntarily - the position is not salaried.

The requirements

You are up for a challenge and must have a passion for people.
You have proven competence in maintenance and repair of machinery and engine room systems.
You are committed to the Christian faith and principles of the Logos Hope ministry.
You are able to work with a team of young international crew and pass on your experience.
You are in possession of valid STCW certification (Reg.III) and a valid seafarer's medical.
You are, as C/E or 1/E ready to bring longer term leadership to the engine department on board.

The benefits

A rewarding job investing in young people and keeping a life-changing ministry operating with your technical skills.
Being a part of the on board community and receiving personal input through daily devotions.
Experiencing the culture of the countries the ship visits as well as the international crew and staff you live with.
