ECO AHT are $850 plus $75/day when setting/picking up anchors. ECO only has a few unlimited boats. OC I’ve been told are higher.
The “3rd mate” listed there is actually the third captain/chief mate. You must have a 1600/3000 ton master to have that position or pay. The mate pay is actually a lot lower.
Very nice info great job
I was quoted a day rate for tug captain towing dredge scows in SoCal at $280/8hrday. That seems low.

It is low.
Well, it depends on your desires. To work an 8 hour day, 5 days a week, and be home every night doesn’t sound so bad. It would totally depend upon if you lived close. By my math, 280 a day times 20 days a month equals 5600 a month. 67000 a year. So ido was looking to go home, and lived close…
There’s a WHOLE LOT less paperwork moving mud than oil!
That’s 35$/hr that’s pretty bottom of the barrel for a west coast tug operator IMHO. Should be atleast 40$/hr or better.
Small tugs that do day work get paid low. They need a smaller license and they get to go home at night.
If this is a 24/7 operation with three watches (which I doubt) then it would be very low pay.
That’s still low, there are plenty of west coast outfits with 100> ton tugs paying 40$/hr range.
It’s been a few years but the last I heard the day boat skippers were getting 40hr in NY harbor. And I’m not even sure if there are that many day boats left nowadays.
And NY harbor pays more than almost anywhere.
we should get paid alot more for what we do, 500 ton Captains and up should make at least a 1000 a day.
Bottom line. It’s never enough.
They well pay whatever they have to to get employees and as little as they can and still get employees.
You’re way off…Should be at least $7125.38 a day plus full medical, and at minimum a 5803 square foot villa overlooking the water. $1000 a day…Ppppppfffttt!! That should be the starting 6-pack day rate!
Not to revive an old threatd, but what about 2012 rates, specifically in new york. Currently that I know of, OS on miller day boats 10 dollars an hour! os on ferries, 10-12 an hour! Dann marine in the area i heard is doing about 260 a day though.
Dann Marine is 185.00 after 90 days. If you can, stay away from there though. It is a bad operation. They have some real winners working there, from top to the bottom.
[QUOTE=c.captain;25642]I am sorry to say that I am sceptical because I want what you say to be true but can you tell me where these numbers come from? Transocean? Pride? Frontier? Diamond? We know that it is not Noble or ENSCO. Is it the foreign drilling companies that are being so generous?
Who is it…the world wants to know![/QUOTE]
His numbers are pretty accurate for working an american company operating in the Gulf… I can confirm because Ive worked for 2 different companies in that last two months and of course had other offers with the likes of Transocean, Atwood, Vantage, and Pacific Drilling… Frontier and Pride are owned by noble and ensco respectively by the way… They are all in that ball park all coming in different forms of bonuses penisions ect.
Tug capt full time in LA/LB. $500-$580/day. 12 hours on 12 hours off, go home. 182 days a year… Tug capt. Towing on the coast $600-$700 a day depending on which company and which union.
Glad I don’t work on the left coast. If that’s what they pay captains I hate to see what engineers get.
