sailorship


Explanation:
Seringkali tertulis pada dokumen resmi rancu antara pekerjaan dan bidang pekerjaan, termasuk pada KTP. Pekerjaan: bangunan, padahal yang dimaksudkan ialah pekerjaannya sebagai pekerja (bangunan) sedangkan bidang pekerjaannya ialah sipil (bangunan). Demikian pula pertanyaan di atas. Semestinya pekerjaannya ialah pelaut sedangkan bidang pekerjaannya ialah pelayaran. Saya menjawab dalam hal ini sebagaimana yang ditanyakan.

pelaut: seaman, sailor
pelayaran: sailorship
ilmu pelayaran: seamanship

shipping


Explanation:
I think this is the general term which would be a close equivalent. After all we do not know what the groom actually does from the description pelayaran.

agree  hetty raphita tobing: agree. Hal seperti ini sering dilakukan banyak orang. Pekerjaannya sebagai karyawan bank, tetapi ketika isi formulir, tidak jarang dia akan tulis "banking" yang berarti "perbankan" padahal kita tidak tahu apa posisinya dibank itu - direktur? teller?
