Part of the ^QS Sailors registry — the Zulu Code maritime human-capital index.

What ^QSIB18200927 means

^QSIB18200927 is a Zulu Code person identifier, read one letter at a time. The leading ^Q places it in the Human Capital & Services system, and QS is the Sailors registry inside it: every seafarer and shore professional on Zulu Code sits under ^QS.

The third letter, I, is the country: India. The fourth letter, B, is the rank: Chief Officer. So ^QSIB is the node for every Chief Officer from India, and this page is one member of it.

The trailing digits 18200927 are a placeholder. Zulu Code normally encodes the holder's date of birth as YYYYMMDD so that members of a node sort by age, but this account was issued before a date of birth was recorded. When the holder adds one, the code is re-issued with the real digits.

About the Chief Officer rank

The Chief Officer (Chief Mate) is the head of the deck department, responsible for cargo operations, stability, deck maintenance and the safety management system. It is the final sea-going rank before command and requires an STCW II/2 Chief Mate certificate.

Sea-going ranks occupy the letters A to T of the ^QS registry; shore ranks such as Technical Superintendent and Purchase Manager sit at U to Z, so a career that moves from ship to office stays inside the same registry.

83 people hold a Chief Officer code from India on Zulu Code. The parent node ^QSIB lists all of them.

How verification works

A Zulu Code is a verifiable credential, not a public profile. Without the holder's 4-digit PIN this page shows only what the code itself encodes: registry, country, rank and the encoded date. With the PIN, the same page unlocks the holder's name, contact details, ZULU-verified rating and the ZULUCODE standard resume.

That is why ^QSIB18200927 is safe to print on a CV or a business card: a recruiter who has been given the PIN sees a verified record, and anyone else sees a code. The PIN can be changed by the holder at any time, which revokes every earlier link.
