What's a Chief Engineer Intermediate? Is there another C/E on-board that he/she reports to? Some of these terms are very confusing.

I believe its BC Ferries reference to responsibility vs vessel size - like Bowen Queen I think is Intermediate Vessel, while Tachuk might be a Minor Vessel, and Spirit Class, a Major Vessel.

Thanks. Do the C/Es have pay grades that differ as per the size of the vessels?

I would assume it does.
