24%
73/ 100
1 Share of the marine cargo inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the non-vessel operating common carrier profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A marine cargo inspector role treats 4 of its required skills as things a non-vessel operating common carrier already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply procedures to ensure cargo complies with customs regulations
- prepare freight shipment reports
- principles of cargo stowage
- weigh shipments
What stands in the way is 14 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A marine cargo inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a non-vessel operating common carrier background worth leading with.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
