I have been working for Maersk for three years. The salary is above average, but the company has a severe shortage of ETOs, and the job involves checking around 500 reefers twice a day and submitting reports for each one. Recruitment is now handled through an external crewing agency, while documentation and planning are handled by different Maersk offices.
I have worked for Maersk since 2010. According to the reefer operation manual, manual daily monitoring is not required for reefers with a working communication device when the vessel has the appropriate monitoring system installed.
I worked for Maersk Line and had to inspect all reefer containers twice a day. There were many reefers, and the workload was particularly difficult on the route I was assigned to.
I applied to Maersk as a cadet in 2016–2017. I was told that the company was not considering applicants from our group.
I applied to Maersk through its local office and was asked to take the company's IQ test. I did not pass it and received similar rejections when I submitted my documents again. On another occasion, the company offered me a position, but I had expected more because of its reputation.
