Each Shipboard Management Team, consisting of two Masters and two Chief Engineers, is
responsible for the superintendence of the vessel.
This unique method of ship operation stimulates the officers interest and involvement in their
own vessel, ensures optimal maintenance and high technical standards and, in the long run,
lowers overall costs.
The Masters and Chief Engineers work together, while on board as well as on leave, and are
responsible for budgets, spares and stores, and repairs and maintenance.
They are also involved in the management of quality, safety and regulatory issues as well as the
recruitment of officers and ratings.
The shore organization provides technical support, crewing and personnel co-ordination,
commercial management, accounting and harmonization of the operation of the vessels.
This structure requires a continuous collaboration between the officers that are on board the ship
and those who are on leave.
The system brings a flat organization with quick decisions, cost effectiveness, and a more
stimulating and motivating work environment for the officers with a possibility to influence the
company.
Laurin Maritime holds inclusive meetings three times a year in Gothenburg and Manila, where
officers and ratings meet to discuss security, new regulations, the ship budget, and life onboard.
Authority depends on the level of management. Higher the level of management, higher will be
the authority and vice-versa.
Power does not depend on the level of management. Power can exist at any level of
management. Even a lower-level manager or a worker can have power to influence the behaviour
of a top-level manager.
5. Legitimacy
Authority is always official in nature. So it is legitimate.
Power need not be official in nature. So it need not be legitimate.
6. Position and Person
Authority is given to a position or post. The manager gets the authority only when he holds that
position.
Power resides (lives) in the person who uses it.
