Different end of the industry, but the same gap shows up on the small-operator side too. I hold a towing endorsement on a 100-ton near coastal, and it’s a hard sell keeping anyone with that ticket doing inland/near-coastal work when a licensed towing endorsement is worth $835/day at a company like Reinauer. Most small operators can’t get anywhere close to that, so once someone actually earns the endorsement, deep sea or coastal tug work is the obvious next move. Makes finding crew with a real towing endorsement for smaller near-coastal operations tougher than it looks on paper.

For anyone moving from oil/chem or LPG into LNG, a useful interview differentiator is systems literacy: be ready to discuss the containment system, BOG handling, cargo operations, and whether your Advanced Gas/IGF training is current on the discharge book. It helps to translate existing tanker watchkeeping experience into those LNG-specific competencies rather than just applying broadly.

Also, be cautious with “urgent joining” DMs: verify a real company footprint, a named vessel/IMO or identifiable fleet manager, and never pay upfront for placement.

For those specifically looking for LNG vacancies, two quiet boards that may be useful (verify every crewing house yourself)🙂 LNG sea roles: [Telegram: Contact @lng\_seafarer\_jobs](https://t.me/lng_seafarer_jobs)
