Hi everyone I have a 50 ton masters license with sailing and commercial assistance towing endorsements. I am looking for work…I have also just sent in my application for AB Special MMD. My career goal is to become a tug boat captain. I am located in Baltimore, but I’m single, no kids, and keep a bag by the door so I can leave at a moments notice. Anybody have suggestions on where to start? Thanks in advance, guys. Capt Corey Mitchell ---

Talk to moran, mcallister, and vane brothers. They are all local so it will just take a little driving to go see them in person. ---

Mcallister will fuck you. Who wants to work on 3rd rate rust buckets anyway? Moran is decent they have some old equipment but they do a decent job of maintaining it. Vane doesn’t seem to be hiring despite adds everywhere. Just my 2 cents. There are some smaller mom and pop outfits up the bay in in Baltimore try them as well. Good luck! ---

Moran was able to avoid laying anyone off during the recession, mcallister was not… ---

I would go work for Seabulk in Tampa but last I talked to them they want you to live within an hour of the dock. They work a 1 week on/off rotation.
