So you are a deckhand with a slick Mate 1600 license working in the GOM and you want to switch to towing? If you have no endorsement and no experience your gonna have to eat a turd sandwich with Mac or Dann or some other bottom tier outfit for a while. And no they dont pay $450 a day for that.
Vane runs new equipment and have a line of Tangierman a mile long who were born on the deck of a deadrise. Crowley runs similar grade of equipment and they aint looking to hire daisies either.
