Claudia Vasilache 2G Jobs and Careers Interview with my Father

- What is your job title ? - My job title is Ship Superintendent.

- What are your main job duties ?

!

- I work in a shipyard. My main job duty is to inspect and test the ships during their construction. Ships are the largest moving machines on the planet, they are very expensive and it is very important to make sure they are strong and good quality.

- How does your job shape or have an impact on the Busan community ?
!

- The ships I have worked on last year are the the largest ships in the world. They carry containers between Asia and Europe. Almost all the products we buy today are transported in containers by ships. Their construction was filmed by Discovery Channel.

This is me, on Discovery Channel.

The ships I work on now will carry natural gas from all over the world to Korea. People use natural gas to heat their home, to make hot water and to produce electricity.

- What is the most difficult part in your job ?

!

- The most difficult part of my job are the Sea Trials, when we take the ships out to sea to test them. Everything is tested and the ship sails at its maximum speed. There is a lot of work to be done and very little time for rest and sleep.
