Looking to getting back in the field from shoreside… I have a 3rd mate’s Unlimited and a tankerman PIC and wondering if there are any Tanker jobs out there, or somewhere to start? AB/Tankerman (not on a barge) is fine. Wondering if anyone knows any tanker companies or bulkers or ships other than tugs, which are my last option (I want to advance my Unlimited). I applied to Chevron’s opening but seems I was too late for that… Hoping to find some leads before thinking of joining one of the unions, I also looked and called many times at MSC and they are not hiring 3rd’s/ABs, even with my PIC and crane experience. ---

I don’t know if they are hiring but go to OSG’s website and fill out their online application. ---

Call OSG in Tampa and talk to Patty Powell. She is the crewing coordinator and will tell you if there are any openings. That have hired a lot of 3rd mates the last couple years. Even if they need someone for reliefs, it’s a good place to start
