Who grants permission for educator operations while the ship is in port?

The authority to grant permission for educator operations while the ship is in port typically rests with the Engineering Duty Officer (EDO). This role involves overseeing the operational aspects of the ship and ensuring that all activities comply with safety standards and regulations while inport. The EDO has the necessary training and position to manage educational programs and responsibilities uniquely relevant to the ship's mission and personnel training.

In a port environment, the EDO plays a critical role in coordinating between various departments, facilitating training or operational procedures, and ensuring that operations align with overall ship operations. The decision-making power held by the EDO allows for efficient management of these educational activities, making their approval essential for any operations that are conducted in conjunction with the ship's educational programs.
