He's not the Captain, he's Chief Mate/First Officer (one rank below Captain).
You're correct, the Captain doesn't perform a watch but is on call 24/7.
The Captain is always on the bridge when entering or leaving port and stands alongside the Port Captain/Pilot and can overrule any decision at any time if they, the Captain feel the need.
