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

What ^QSID18200126 means

^QSID18200126 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, D, is the rank: Third Officer. So ^QSID is the node for every Third Officer from India, and this page is one member of it.

The trailing digits 18200126 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 Third Officer rank

The Third Officer keeps a bridge watch and is typically responsible for life-saving and fire-fighting appliances, safety equipment records and port documentation. It is the entry officer rank on the deck side, held on an STCW II/1 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.

52 people hold a Third Officer code from India on Zulu Code. The parent node ^QSID 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 ^QSID18200126 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.
