French term or phrase: équipier
Still plodding through my Haitian document.

Seems easy enough, but how to say it is the problem. Deckhand, maybe.

Any suggestions wold be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Here is the context:
Est Capitaine ou “Skipper” d’un navire de plaisance la personne qui exerce la responsabilité de la conduite du navire.

Est considérée comme membre de l’équipage toute personne à bord qui participe à la conduite, au fonctionnement ou à l’entretien des installations du navire en qualité de marin professionnel salarié.
Toute autre personne présente à bord est considérée comme équipier.

Le GDT traduit équipage par "crew" ou "hands" comme dans "All hands on deck" qu'on entend toujours dans les films de pirates.

La description que le texte fait des "équipiers" est assez précise, ils travaillent à bord mais pas en tant que marins, ce sont donc des employés qui s'occupent des passagers (navire de plaisance). Je change ma réponse pour:

"staff members"

"A cruise vessel is a hybrid between a ship and a five star hotel, so in general the cruise ship personnel is divided into two main categories: people who are responsible for sailing and operating the ship (deck and engine officers, seamen, motormen etc.) and staff members who directly or indirectly service or/and entertain passengers."

Asker: Hi, the problem here is to distinguish between membre de l’équipage and équipier I was under the impression that it meant the same thing. Could it just be that they made a mistake in the text?
