Maintenance is part of the daily routine aboard a Maritime vessel. Cadets are required to participate in various tasks such as chipping paint, repainting, repairing lines, or stowing the ships gear. The cadets shown are painting over aft, starboard side main deck. One of the most important aspects of maintenance is safety, cadets wear eye and hearing protection, along with steal-toe boots and when applicable, breathing apparatus. Safety precautions are taken when ever appropriate.
