pocketpussy onboard: need it or keep it?
>>2003667Happened to me twice in the past two weeks, three times in two months. I wish there were a way for this to be recorded and they lose the first hour of watch pay or something.
>>2004108Well I worked with a captain who embarks at 5th month and disembarks within 9th every year. Not everyone enjoy rolling and pitching.
>>2004150that's gonna be me some day but the my dream schedule is sept to end of season
THOSE COASTGUARD FAGGOTS STILL HAVENT MOVED MY PAPERWORK PAST THE BACKGROUND CHECK AFTER OVER A MONTH REEEEEEEE
>>2004183bureaucracy in this industry is fucking wild, it's like they don't want people
>>2004183Yeah I have two guys on board with medicals pending and neither have seen any progress in weeks. Btw those white sheets are so retarded, we had to put one on our bow once to assist some navy ship for its christening (it had a minor collision the week before lol) and it pulled off almost immediately after contact with the hull.
>>2004057I feel like God has a plan for me and did this to me for a reason. I'm grateful for where I am in life. With that said, I am 2000% doing the Military to Mariner program if for no other reason than closure.

>>2004326What ship?
>>2004329El Faro you absolute newfag
>>2004330Huh. Weird, i thought about it from the description but didn't remember the "Scooby Doo voice". The retard captain going full Karen wanting to speak to dispatcher's manager (iirc) was shamefully hilarious.
>>2004183This entire industry would be 1 million times better if the NMC wasn't so understaffed. It took me 2 months for my MMC to come back all that time for those lazy retards to open up an email and read a pdf btw. Though i suppose this is the consequence of it being such a niche field of employment in the USA
>company doesn’t pay for travel to and from the shipThe fuck is this now?

Good morning deckies and engies have a good view of The Mountain of Tariq!
>>2005319>Do NOT use
>>2005371Can we talk about the runaway use of safety stickers and placards and bulletins? Just had to tape up a sexual harassment warning in every room. Pretty soon you're not going to be able to see the walls with all these fucking things. Very un-aesthetic.
>>2005461the old faded ones with non-english languages written underneath are soulful

Thinking about getting into the human trafficking business as a side vocation. Except when I got to meet up with the trafficker to pick up the cargo, I traffic THEM and pop them on a cargo ship up to Iqaluit.Thoughts?
Is this a good industry to get into if I'm a sensitive young man?
>>2005674Not really, you have to take a lot of shit
>>2005701I meant like the romantic kind of sensitive, not the crying if someone calls me a faggot sensitive
>>2005703Yes definitely, get out here
How much money can I make as an electrician on one of these shipsI was in the navy years ago, I was a gseI know msc posts their post scales, but gcaptain says msc is just terrible and somebody new to this industry should go literally anywhere else
why is this industry so fucking dogshit
>>2005777What industry isn't?
>>2005788The catshit industry
>>2005777All could be forgiven if it just paid more. Wages just been too stagnant. Pic unrelated.
well bros my first time as a 3rd mate, 5 months in... so far it's a mixed bag.So far we've just been rotating around Indonesia and China transporting coal but the next voyage is Korea for Turkey (around Africa) and that's where I will most likely be headed home in 2-3 months. There were some good days mostly in Indonesia as both captains would allow the ship to be turned into a floating whorehouse, I fucked 6 women during our three stays in Indonesia but there were also hard as fuck days where I'd not get sleep for days, specially in china with all the fucking river maneuvers. Also the difference from the mindset of a cadet to one of a OOW is huge.been putting in work to my best ability and I think it's well received by the chief and captain, all in all so far proud of myself>>2005706filipino electrician on my ship has 5500 USD monthly
>>2005816Is that piece of shit a fednav ship?
>>2005966>anon discovers what outsourcing really means

>>2006274>MFOW>COVID vaccinations required for most vessels. >Full COVID Vaccination >You will not be considered for employment if you do not possess all of the above items.No thanks
>>2006277Are they still serious with the jab? When I was applying to one company, they said I need to be vaccinated for typhoid and covid. I took the former and ignroed the latter. Company seemed to also ignore the latter and accepted me.But that was in Europe.
>>2006328That's just what their website says
