Had a similar thing in the past, no Old Man onboard and having to deal with Old Mans stuff. Eventually got an agreement with the company that they would pay Chief Officer at Relief Master rate to take account of extra responsibility; if the crap is going to land on your head then may as well get paid for it…
Vessel tied up at company dock. Captain went home leaving 3/M in charge. Am I making too big a fuss?
