Whilst in port our Engineer Officers have to take the opportunity to progress stopped engine maintenance schedules which must all be completed well in advance of sailing time. A further look at our vessel tracking page will indicate just how few occasions there are when our vessels fail to arrive and sail on time. This is a true reflection of the very real success and ongoing effort of all those working together as a close team on board ship. Fortunately life is not all work and no play and a seafaring career still has its attractions. Salaries currently start at approximately 20,000 per year for junior officers rising t to in excess of 35,000 for Masters and Chief Engineers.
All salaries are currently tax-free.
This opens up the opportunity for pleasure pursuits and quality time unequalled by work routines ashore. There is also ample provision for study for our cadets. All food and accommodation is provided by the company and there is neither the expense nor the inconvenience of travelling to and from work each day. Another hidden advantage is that seagoing officers need not relocate to areas of high employment to pursue their chosen career. We presently recruit 30 cadets annually.
