Not to be too noisy but what is the pay scale on a work boat? A day
rate for days worked? Or hourly? Monthly?


I was hired as an OS at $150/day. From what I understand that is
typical pay for unlicensed people.


ABs get $240-$320 per day


I was told Im off to another boat and will be filling an AB spot
there. I guess they wanted to see if an old guy could cut it. guess I
did.


Ill be starting $260/day as AB with this company

How does that compare with say, an engineer?

Just trying to get an idea of relationship of pay there to pay here.
Of course here there would be no foreign AB's but there might be a
foreign engineer.

Cheers,

Bruce

Hello Bruce,

Here the average pay for a 4000 HP engineer with a couple years
experience is 500 a day.
