A ship captain is the person in charge of a vessel, responsible for its safe navigation and operation. They lead the crew, make important decisions, and ensure that the ship reaches its destination without any accidents. A captain must have extensive knowledge of maritime laws, weather conditions, and navigation techniques to manage the ship effectively. In addition to steering the ship, a captain also communicates with other ships and ports, often using tools like radios and GPS. They must be skilled in problem-solving and leadership, as they oversee the crew's work and handle emergencies that may arise at sea.
