Hey anyone knows if i still can work offshore with a revoked MMD working as a deckhand?please help
Probably not. Even as a deckhand you’d need your papers to be an OS. I think you’ll have to try to appeal it or whatever. Was it fully Revoked or just Suspended?
I believe that you do not need an MMD if you are on an uninspected vessel or any vessel inspected under 100grt
That is true. Nothing is required by the USCG until over 100 except for maybe the useless TWIC.

I’m at work at the moment so I do not have the information on me. There is a company in LA that hires convicts as part of a work release program. Starting position pays $200 per day for non-convicts. MMD not needed nor asked for. They pick up debris dropped by the oil rigs once a site has moved and the boats are always working unless the weather gets too harsh. They work the entire Gulf year round from LA to TX and have more work than boats or crews. So they pick and choose where they go unless the Drill companies put in a special request. They will always have a Company Man aboard from one of the Drill companies to record…deny or hide what is found.
The boats (90-125 footers) go out 7-12 days at a time before returning for a few days (3-4 days) to replenish and drop off debris…repair nets…and…do what sailors do when docked. The boats work from 8AM-5PM (normally) and at anchor for the night. They do not work if the seas get over 6 feet. They either stay anchored out or just berth at the nearest location. Four months on, one month off. Their biggest complaint is the lack of HBO for their satellite TV service. Owner will not pay for it. I don’t get it. For some reason they have a very hard time getting people to leave the boats after their four month assignment.
These are the some of the most beautifully kept and maintain travelers you’ll ever seen…full time cook included. They look more like pleasure cruisers than work boats. Inside and out. The crew and mess areas look like something out of House and Garden. The berthing areas looked as if they have never been used. When I saw the engine room I felt compelled to take off my shoes.
Oddly, you must have computer experience and know Excel proficiently. If I remember, I’ll PM you their information if you’d like it.
I talk too much.
You don’t need docs to work inland
I had a deckhand that was fired from a crewboat job because his zcard was revoked. Even though he did not need it on the crewboat. When the coasties found out that he was still offshore they notified the company and they fired him. The coasties only found out due to him applying for a new zcard.

I just hired on with this outfit and what you describe is pretty much what I was told. I was skeptical when I heard about the bankers hours but you just confirmed it. I didn’t hear how nice the boats were, that’s cool too! The reason I haven’t started yet is the poor weather forecast… Will be working 90-30 which is perfect right now cuz cash flow and sea-time is of key importance to me right now.
I know a decent deckineer with a pot conviction that I’d like to refer to this outfit. Why is it no one wants to mention the company name?
Are y’all talking about BJ Martin?

yes, didn’t mean to leave the name out on purpose.
Do well by them and they will do well by you. I started there 34 years ago and still keep in touch. His kids remember me from when they were 7 or 8. Good family company from the old days.
