Hmmm So cargo is carried 'IN' and personnel are carried 'ON'
Now do engineers serve 'in' or 'on' the engineroom, as a navigator I am on the bridge but in the wheelhouse
Then we have 'all hands on deck' or if unfortunate 'all hands in the boats'
I served 'in' the Merchant Navy and the ships I sailed 'on' ……………….
