What type of worker, employment situation, occupation or professional activity is this pathway actually designed for?

This deemed-permission class covers a member of the crew of a vessel in the territorial seas who is required by the vessel's master to disembark to escort passengers who have permission to enter the Territories. Government policy says this includes all persons required to transport passengers from the vessel to the shore, escort passengers while ashore and ensure their safety while on shore or being transported for disembarkation.

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

Employer involvement runs through the vessel's master, who must not allow any person to disembark unless satisfied that the person has a permit or deemed permission, must give the Principal Immigration Officer the Schedule 3 information and any other reasonably required information before a person with deemed permission under Schedule 2 paragraphs 4 to 7 disembarks, and must not allow disembarkation other than at a place authorised by the Principal Immigration Officer.

The official sources do not state whether the permission allows work other than the escort function, and do not address family accompaniment.
