Anyone know anything about them? I tried looking here and elsewhere, but can’t seem to find much. I’m also unlicensed and looking at as position they had posted on their website.

Well, they were a good company when I worked for them 20 years ago. I know a guy that’s a bosun and has been with them happily for that and then some.

what info are you looking for?

I see the rotations are 4 month/off, are they pretty good to sticking to that? Decent benefits and such?

Four (4) month rotations are pretty standard given the ships are usually foreign. My son sailed a number of the T-AGS as QMED. That was the rotation schedule he worked. Licensed guys were similar to minimize transportation costs.

That I can’t really answer. I was AMO at the time and it was a sweetheart contract so it was 11 for 30 vacation (again, 20 years ago). SIU has better negotiators, so I imagine it’s better on that side, but I would check with the hall.

As for rotations, yeah, they were always good with that for being on a tanker with no set routing. But again, that’s going to be a question more for your hall before you take the job.

Good company out of Houston. They have a mix of ok and very good contracts. In my experience, they actually care about their people. They want people to be permanent vs shipping off the board

This is definitely something I can agree with.
