The bottom table provides a simulation functionality for the crewing department to gather information on the shortage or surplus of the crew in any given rank.

Click each Rank and the Staff Strength - Rank Requirement pop-up window will be displayed.

In the No. of Ranks field, enter the number of people for the position that will be required for the specified number of vessels.  Click Calculate.
