1. Dockmaster

   A dockmaster is a person in charge of a dock used for freight, logistics, and repair or maintenance of ships (a shipyard or drydock). This title is distinct from harbormaster, which is sometimes a higher rank than dockmaster. A dockmaster is assisted by a deputy dockmaster and an assistant dockmaster. For example, in the Port of London in the United Kingdom, shipping movements in dock complexes, and within a short distance of the outer lock gates (i.e. in the tidal river), are under the jurisdiction of a dockmaster and staff. Each assistant dockmaster has a marine staff of about 70. In all, each dock complex employed about 360 marine staff. The Port of London consists of all the tidal portions of the River Thames from Margate on the south coast, Clacton-on-Sea on the north, through to Teddington a total of around 95 miles (153 km). Up until the 1980s the Port of London Authority (PLA) dockmasters were responsible for five large enclosed dock systems and miles of quayside isolated from the tides by locks. These systems were London and St Katharine Docks, Surrey Commercial Docks, West India and Millwall Docks, Royal Docks, and Tilbury Docks. Of these only Tilbury is operational, along with DP World's London Gateway. Eventually Tilbury Docks were privatized and became the Port of Tilbury, with their dockmaster being redesignated as harbourmaster; this led to the PLA harbourmaster being redesignated chief harbourmaster.

1. Dockmaster

   Within large ports/harbours such as the Port of London, which consists of all the tidal portion of the River Thames from Margate on the south coast, and Clacton-on-Sea on the north, through to Teddington, a total of around 95 miles, plus the enclosed dock systems that may be reached directly from it, the Port of London Authority's responsibilities were, up to the 1980s when the upper four dock systems were essentially closed, five large enclosed dock systems with literally miles of quayside, that were isolated from the tides by locks. These dock systems were London and St Catherine's Docks, Surrey Commercial Docks, India and Millwall Docks, Royal Docks, and Tilbury Docks. Shipping movements in each of these five dock complexes, and within a short distance of the outer lock gates were under the jurisdiction of a Dockmaster and his staff. Each Dockmaster, his Deputy Dockmaster, and his Assistant Dockmasters were fully qualified and experienced Master Mariners. Each Assistant Dockmaster had a marine staff for his watch of about 70 men, so in all, each dock complex employed about 360 marine staff. Except within a short distance of the outer lock gates of the dock complexes, the tidal port came under the jurisdiction of the Harbourmaster, who had two Deputy Harbourmasters, and several Assistant Harbourmasters, and other officers, such as Hydrographic, Salvage, and Port Radio. All of these officers too had to be fully qualified and experienced Master Mariners.
