Does anyone know what the going rates are for Tankerman (PIC) with LNG experience? Crowley, Bouchard, McAllister, Kirby, Hornbeck, etc…

Not on tug/barges…the older (50+) year old guys with a few decades of ship LNG cargo experience are making serious cash shoreside though.

If you have an AB, Passport and your BST, Tankerman PIC (DL) [U]document[/U],
it will be somewhat easy to get hired, depending on the crewing managers needs at the time you call.
be prepared for summertime layoffs due to scheduled shipyard repairs,
and general layoffs in the summertime when the need for oil tapers off.
“one man watch” for the weekend!, be back on Monday!, will be words that you will dread!, especially when you live in Texas!
