[QUOTE=tugboatchief;75414]I know quite a few companies who run “deckaneers”. They are usually three man crews with two wheelhouse guys. I’ve never known a company to run a five man crew with a deckaneer. But from my exp a deckaneer will handle his normal deckhand responsibilities and be expected to check oils/fluid levels in all equipment in eng rm. along with other small tasks below deck. Maybe the company your working for has plans to make you a engineer at some point.[/QUOTE]
That sounds great. I have no idea witch way I’m headed, Deck or Eng. I guess I’ll see.
I’m just wondering what the “sea time” will look like on paper. I’ve got my RFPNW. (also seems that was important) I’m new and GREEN and a pest!
I’m thrilled at the op. I’ll get some hands on with "towing"which intrests me. I told em I’m interested in getting my Qmed and Tankerman PIC as well if I have the chance to. I figured having my AB and QMED would be a good thing. I guess i’m getting way ahead of myself but want to move up become an asset.
The Job I got with HOS fits me to a tee, plus 100% paid travel. Can’t wait.
