I hold a 1600/ 3000ITC Master Oceans license. I heard that Harvey pays 850/ day for third captain? Can anybody confirm? I am debating on going to work for Chouest or Harvey or HOS. Does anybody know what the companies are paying for dayrate? ---

Chouest pays 3rd Capt $725 a day… a bit behind other companies. ---

725/day for "3rd Captain"?? And that's lagging behind? Hmmmm, that's still above most tug captains and engineers in the NE.....with pilotage and a shitload of experience. The while 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th captain thing is funny. How many masters are on board at any given time. Who is the boss? If there's more than one captain....who is in charge? I'd be happy with fu@#ng $500.00/day!! Wow, this DP GOM ITC OMSA HOS ECO HGIM world is very interesting. ---

I should have taken a different career path. Wonder if I could cook all the great fried comfort food and still keep everyone healthy, slim and trim. Could I get First Captain of the Galley and $800.00 a day? Probably not. Guess heartfelt, Thank You, will have to do. I know, I know… Head Chef on a private yacht. I prefer to work for a hard working crew better than full grown spoiled brats. Remember to tell your cook when you like the meal. ---

Captains with 3000itc and DP make $800 a day at HGIM. Masters make $825. 6000itc vessels make more. $25 a day bump coming Sept. 15th. ---

Cooks at ECO are at 300. Everyone is hoping for a bump soon for the enlisted ranks but not complaining. I love my job as well as the folks I work with and for. Can't complain about in this industry and especially this employer as the future are yours to capture. Free training good beni's and a family orients company where you can talk to the person that signs your check means a lot more to me than a couple more .
