anchor90,
I know in the past it was possible to be OOW both deck and engine side; I remember reading an article in NUMAST I think about a guy with Shell who alternated his trips engine and deck side. Also remember speaking with some of the senior officiers who had sailed with the oil majors who knew of people doing it in the past.

The colledge may be your best bet to enquire furthur but a quick email / phone call to the Dept of Marine may answer your question too.
