Swedish term or phrase: ordningsman

Finnish Seaman's Union again. In a high pay bracket 7 for däck- och maskinavdelning. This person also has a job on board a passenger ferry. Dictionaries give marshal and prefect, but neither is a shipping term of art. Rather, Air Marshals are to be found on board US passenger planes.

I already have (store) supervisor etc. for (lager-)förestandare.
