I am currently a mate in the Northwest and have a 1600/3000 ton/itc masters license with towing endorsement. I would like to try working in a different area and see if I can increase my wage in the process. The companies im particularly interested in include Reinauer, Bouchard, Moran, kirby and the osv companies hornbeck, Harvey, choust, otto candies. I would like to know what someone without dp experience would start at? As well as who is hiring now? Any additional benefits some of them offer outside of the ordinary? What companies pay travel and pay you from when you leave your house? What company has the best tendency of not laying people off? Any other information about these companies or others to be considered is appreciated. I would be willing to discuss pay rates in private messages if someone desires to do so. Thanks in advance and sail safe.

It’s a great idea to seek out new experiences in different areas. Things are done very differently and there is a lot to be learned in New York. However, you will probably make a little less money in NY and have higher out of pocket expenses. You might expect to make about $100 to $150 a day more at the larger companies in the Gulf, and about the same as the PNW at the smaller companies in the Gulf. Working in the Gulf is an experience that everyone ought to have. It will really help you to appreciate working in the PNW.
