Chief Engineer In marine transportation, the chief engineer is a licensed mariner in charge of the engineering department on a merchant vessel. "Chief engineer" is the official title of someone qualified to oversee the entire engine department; the qualification is colloquially called a "chief's ticket"
Chief engineer's licenses are divided into different types for the various types of engine- and power-plant found on ships. These are commonly divided as steam (reciprocating) (now almost obsolete), steam (turbine), Diesel, diesel-electric, gas Turbine etc. These categories are often further divided into various horsepower ranges. Obtaining a Chief Engineer's License for Unlimited Horsepower is, by far, the highest achievement a licensed engineering officer can reach on a merchant vessel.
