Ask me Anything about Ships or how you can become a crew onboard, I will gladly answer your questions, Nairaland doesn't have a forum for ships, hence the car section might be a perfect fit Note: I don't give jobs, but I can guide you on navigating through the maritime career path I have been looking for an opportunity to give you an inner experience of how an offshore vessel looks like... They are different types of vessels 1. Roro ship 2. Container ship 3. Bulk carrier 4. Crude carrier 5. Gas Ship (LNG) 6. Oil tankers You can Google each of them to get an insight on what they do I work onboard offshore vessels, that's why I'm gonna narrow my explanation on this type of vessels We have vessels which provides vital services to offshore installations which include 1. AHTS - Anchor Handling and Towing vessel 2. ASD Tugs - Azimuth Stern Drive tugs 3. DSV - Diving support Vessel 4. PSV - Platform Supply Vessel 5. Seismic Vessels 6.Pipe Laying vessels The above mentioned vessels are all available in Nigeria carrying out services for IOCs Though I've only worked on AHTS, ASD Tugs even though other vessels are of the same configuration but they perform different tasks The duty of AHTS and ASD tug is for static towing Onboard a ship, we have ratings and officers and it has two departments Deck & Engine The Captain is the overall, that's why he's also called the master but the certification of the captain and Chief Engineer is the same Officers Captain Chief Engineer Chief Mate or chief officer Second Engineer - This is my rank onboard Second mate or second officer Third engineer ETO Ratings (Depends on the type of vessel) Bosun, also called QuarterMaster AB Oiler Cook Onboard the ship, my responsibilities are enormous, ranging from Main engine maintenance, generators, Steering gear systems, Air conditioning unit etc I'm onboard, and the bandwidth is crazy to upload pictures, I may do that much later if the network is good 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Okoyedavid3: Well maritime jobs is lucrative but not any more in Nigeria, except you are working in a multinational companies like Bourbon, Topaz, Thompe offshore etc (Some of these companies are no longer in Nigeria due to lot of factors) UAE is not a hotspot for Nigerian seafarers now, because they are employing lot of Nigerians over there just like UK taking away our health workers in Nigeria, now every dream of a seafarer is to move to a better company with good salary, fair contract and benefits In Nigeria, A captain in an indigenous maritime company earns about 1.5- 2 million (Which is very poor, ever since they brought local content law into the maritime sector, the blacks have been messing up the system) A chief mate could earn like 800k-1.2 million and could go higher if he or she possesses DPVM licence Normally this is what a crew onboard earns in a sane country and on offshore vessels like DSV or PSV Captain - $8000 - $15000 per month Chief Engineer- $7000 - $14000 per month Chief Mate or chief officer - $6000 - $12000 per month Second Engineer - $6000-$12000 per month Second mate or second officer - $5000 -$10000 per month Third engineer - $5000 -$10000 per month ETO - $12000 - $18 per month The ratings like the AB, Oiler & Cooks cook earn like $1500 - $2000 per month This salary depends on the company, country and type of vessel In Nigeria, I've seen where the chief engineer earns 3.5 million per month 1 Like |
