ship's officer work
As Per rightly notes, "befal" is not limited to the merchant marine fleet. An example of usage by the Norwegian military is at http://www.mil.no/hv/shv/start/Kommandoen/ : "Høsten 1996 startet det første kurset opp på KNM Harald Haarfagre med 25 elever. Hensikten med (Utskrevet befalskurs for Sjøheimevernet) er å skaffe økt tilgang på skipsbefal til fartøyer og hurtigbåter."
(It may be that the Norwegian military is not involved in the particular work injury scheme at issue here.)

Example sentence:
"The captain of the dredger which collided with the Marchioness is still working as a ship's officer despite questions about his conduct dogging him for a decade."

Per Bergvall
: Why merchant marine in particular? When 'befal' is closely associated with Navy command structures?
