misstatement.
Do tell. Inquiring minds want to know.
OMG must mean $1500/day…I’ll even bite on that.

Can’t be…can it?
If so, then why?
Inquiring minds need to know so what is the OMG ?
Some are already over $1000, of course for U/L master with seniority, but there has been a rush of well qualified senior people leaving the boats for the rigs, and this has cause the boat companies to introduce competitive rates, and this caused people to jump between boat companies to the most competitive. Snow ball effect.

Where did the number $1500/day come from? Rumor?
Of course, you and I both know that the need for U/L masters in the US GoM offshore service vessel fleet is mostly on foreign flag vessels and that is only with mainly Hornbeck, Global Industries, Helix, & CalDive. Al the others that are chartered from Olympic, Island Offshore, etc… have Norwegians on them which I have already saying is BS imo because those vessels are under the effective control of the charterer and not the owner but so be it…that one won’t be won in any fight in Washington DC. Is there one US flag service vessel in the GoM that requires a U/L master? I know the new Shell icebreaker (name?) has a U/L master but is that license required for the vessel? Does the large OSV apply to outside the Gulf?
You’re right that the $1000/day for a U/L master is pretty much the going rate now for non drilling. Of course, that is also the equivalent $$$ for ND but I know every other drilling company is paying much higher for drillship masters. You just have to like drilling is all!
Somebody said OMG, that was my arbitrary number that would warrant such a post…

Hard to imagine some of their less than educated masters making that kind of money! There’s one in particular I speak of…a man with the face of a toad. To him, an SMS is hard enough to spell yet alone manage…
I know I am a nasty SOB…so go ahead and shit all over me now for my nature!

So what the hell is this…you shoot a cannon off and then want us to pretend we didn’t hear the boom of it?
sheesh
Who the hell are you calling less than educated??
Quite frankly… it’s none of your damned business what us uneducated folks are making. It is between me… and my employer.
So much for being the “Professional Mariner Forum”…should be called "Gossip and Innuendo for Assholes"
Get a grip fellas.
I knew that statement would have lit a quick match and blown a large powder keg up here…
Even I know when I have pushed the envelope too far and retract my previous post.
See, I am not that big of an SOB after all.

Reports are coming in that an ICBM was launched earlier but before it could detonate a 20megaton thermonuclear blast here it was aborted in mid flight. The nasty SOB who launched it has been taken to a “black rendition site” deep in the heart of Waliwurlistan where he is at this moment being made to wear Khalid Sheik Mohammed’s rotten old underpants on his head.
