Looking to get a job in the gulf. Currently hold a 3/M unlimited but do not have DP. What are companies paying mates with no dp experience? I am willing to take the classes to eventually get my full cert. How much is everyone making, what schedule and at what companies?
ECO pays mates with no DP somewhere around 550, if you take the basic class they automatically bump you up to 650 and the class is free at their school if you are willing to sign a 2 year promissory note. Once you take advanced( also free) and gain full DPO you can run as chief mate. Schedule is whatever you like, typically choices are 28/28, 28/14 or some boats runs 21/21. Govt boats run longer, typically 60/60 or 60/30.They also pay substantially more.
