Just curious to see what the pay scale is doing. I heard companies are giving raises around the board, I’m an AB in the gulf on a liftboat making $300/ day… tugs, OSV, ships? What’s going on with y’all?
$280 tkm on tugboat…ab’s make 270 on edison’s osv’s…
Correction AB’s on Chouest osv’s make 300$ now
Ok roger that…Is that a a.b limited? Cause it says 270 on website…How is it at edision? How do you get in wheelhouse from an ab limited over there?

Well money wise if your only planning to stay in OSV, Mate OSV is enough same as Mate 500 w/ 3000 ITC, then after 480 Sea Days upgrade to Master 1600T…but If you want to go to Mate 1600T, then prepare lots of money coz you will have to take more trainings (same as 3rd mate)… Mate OSV & Mate 1600T Pays the same in my company.
