Like CTT1 said, inport working hours are typically Mon-Fri 0700 - 1600 (4pm). Some commands will work short days on Wednesdays or Fridays. Some commands are on "tropical hours" which are 0600 - 1300 (1pm) with no lunch break. Some days you'll finish early and get to go home early. Some days you'll have to stay late. Sometimes you'll have to come in on the weekend.

In addition to working hours, you will also stand duty once every 4-7 or 8 days (depending on the ship and their manning levels). On duty days you will be on the ship for 24 hours (weekends included).
