In addition to the employees, we have the pleasure of having several skilled volunteers on board. Most work on deck and are undergoing maritime training. To work as a volunteer deck crew member on Lehmkuhl, it is a minimum requirement that you have a basic safety course for sailors (IMO 50) and speak on of the Scandinavian languages.
