Who in the inport duty section is designated as the Locker Leader?

The Locker Leader in the inport duty section is designated as the Junior Officer of the Deck (JOOD). This role involves overseeing the personnel and equipment responsibilities while the ship is moored. The JOOD is typically a junior officer who acts under the direction of the Officer of the Deck (OOD) and has specific duties related to safety, security, and coordination of watch teams during inport operations.

In this context, the JOOD serves not only as a support for the OOD but also takes on leadership responsibilities that pertain to locker checks and ensuring that safety protocols are maintained when the ship is docked. This involves ensuring that all necessary gear and equipment, often stored in lockers, is properly accounted for and in readiness for use. This responsibility is crucial for maintaining operational integrity and readiness, which is fundamental in any maritime operation.

The other roles mentioned, such as the Engineering Officer of the Watch (EOW), OOD, or Boundaryman, while important, do not carry the specific title of Locker Leader. Each of these roles has distinct responsibilities that differ from those of the JOOD, particularly in relation to managing equipment and personnel readiness in port.
