OIM - Very similair job to Master of Ocean Freighter

[Capt_Phoenix]

@"PDCMATE"

Flag State requires an OIM endorsement, who holds it does not matter to them. Either Master, Chief Eng., or Drilling Super. Anchorman, just because you are on here way too much probably, doesn’t mean you know everything. And to tell this 2nd Mate DP OSV guy to leave that industry and go be a BCO-BS route, is absurd, why would you think that route would be good for him, instead of getting hired with the many companies that will take OSV guys and hire them directly as DPOs? That makes no sense, and his roots, his roots are with his license and upgrading to the position of Master with and OIM endorsement.

I don’t think anyone advised him to stop being a dpo and be a bco. Anchorman’s post seems like excellent advice, did you actually read it?
