Sulphur Carriers was 21/30 at $124 per day for 3rd Mate, $138/day base wages and $37/hr OT (ten years ago, but still…) This was on the old TECO bulkers.
I don’t know what the rates were for CM/Master but their vacation wasn’t even day for day. IIRC it was 27/30.

Yea it was bad. I think I was getting 10/k per month all in as 3M. And they had some bullshit retention bonus that was after a year you got an extra days vacation. But you had to be there a year first and then get another year so it was really two years…
The worst was some of those former TECO officers were just… brainwashed into thinking they really had it just as good, if not better than anyone else in the industry. I’m not sure if that was a maritime version of being institutionalized or what, but the Chief Mates and Masters there were convinced no one in the industry was making more than them at 18k and 20k per month.
Can someone explain what 27/30 means and 25/30 when it comes to pay? Like when does that get paid out? 741 as day rate but really it’s more bc of vacation?
SLNC is MMP top to bottom those wages for the engineers are the same for the mates of the same position as well. There is no pension credit for MEBA members. Adjusted pension plan probably means no good pension credit for whatever is left of MMPs salvaged pension plan. @freighterman1 is no OT with the contract. It’s based on a 12 hour day. The 25/30 isn’t based off of 484.37 is just 203.05 or whatever is listed as the daily gross contribution.
So in your examples, for every 30 days worked, you get 27 (or 25 in the second example) days at the vacation pay rate. Then when you get off, you either request it from the union or bank it for down the road. It was before direct deposit for me, but even still, the check would be at my house about 7 days after I submitted for it.
I always wondered why a Company would go top to bottom MMP. Didn’t pan out too well for American Heavy Lift or Sargeant Marine crews who tried to be loyal MMP guys. When the jobs dried up they were on their own, except for the Mates who could at least find something in the Hall, if they had the classes.
For 30 days worked, 27 days of vacation is earned. In the case of 25/30 it is 25 days. It is payable when you file for vacation. The pay is the base rate for that position.
Most likely because MMP is willing to bid lowest. Maybe they figure they can get some engineers from MEBA to passthrough all the time but those jobs have been sitting for months. SLNC does not pay into the pension / MEBA engineers don’t get pension credit so combined it with the low wages no one wants to touch them.
I saw this comment below in another threat and all I could do was laugh.
@Capt_O If we MEBA Deckies are such an afterthought then why do we have contracts that are higher than you?
A Keystone Tanker 3M is making at least 706 total a day factoring in base wages, vacation wages (27/30), factoring out the pension payment and doing a only 4 hours OT a day. That 706 doesn’t factor any additional OT they get paid for over 40hours a week and doesn’t factor any penalty. They also get full pension credit and an MPB contribution.
…. @Capt_O Seems like MMP members are the after thought lol. 40 vs 84 hour work week come on, you can’t be serious.
I gotta ask, why does every thread you post in turn into a dick measuring contest with MMP? Someone in one thread literally asked about MEBA and every other sentence starts with “unlike MMP…”
