I'm currently an engineer cadet on board this ship redacted we run a odd crew scheme by having twice as many junior officers as we need to. Due to the company that has hired/chartered the boat having run a safety analysis. We got captain, chief mate, two first and two second mates. Chief engineer, 1st engineer, two second engnieers, cadet (me) and a oiler apprentice.

FrozenVent posted:^^^^ What the gently caress, that's a lot of people. Don't seismic boats just make long lines in the water? Why the need for the extra manpower? Safety analysis saying its less likely to get black out. If you get a black out while shooting on the (oil)field it will cost you more than the extra vages of the enlarged crew. We only have two AB's and we have a manned engine room during the night instead of E0.

camino posted:Which school are you at? Why did you pick that one over the others? Went to University College of Vestfold (norway) the only school in the coutry that offers marine enginner education at bachelor level. In norway there is two ways of becoming a merchant marine officer. Either through going to college (bachelor and STCW papers) or by going to vocational high school studying maritime subjects then apprentice as either AB or Oiler for two years then go to trade school and recive your STCW papers. Unfortuanly there are no more dedicated maritme colleges in this country anymore. So we have to work out our cadet placements on our own.

an adult beverage posted:Have any crazy crew stories? Any cool stuff that you've seen besides what you've already posted? How are the family lives of crew members? It seems hard to maintain a family with a lifestyle like that. We had an AB get caught drinking on board the boat. we sort of knew he had a drinking problem when he was onshore (home). Now he he is in rehab with full pay so good for him.

Did not know about it untill the 2nd year of college, and only Denmark (Maersk) and France acknowledge dual certificates anyway. For engineers its no problem to get cadet placement (I was the last one in my class to get one about a month before graduation). For some of the deck officers it can be hard to get a cadet placement one of my roomates applied at 38 shipping compaines before he got one. edit: det er deilig å være norsk i danmark

flashman posted:Nice couple of gigs you landed. Weird that OSV has the superstructure at the stern all here on the Grand Banks are superstructure up forward. Whats the tonnage on that OSV? November in the North Sea shouldn't be too bad; most of the vessels head to aberdeen or surrounding anchorages during any sort of blow so it's not like you'll be jogging around in 15 meters (unless you get unlucky and on standby). Turns out I was not heading for the North Sea but the Barents Sea now its a snow storm and 16 meter waves. we are still at the base waiting for the weather to clear. The ship is 6100t (gross) putting the superstructure at the stern is supposed to give it a smoother ride and more comfort for the crew. http://www.ship-technology.com/projects/viking2/ sister ship of the one I'm on with diesel electric propulsion instead of dual fuel diesel/LNG electric propulsion

not to derail the entire LNG_chat.txt but I'm currently on a norwegian flagged LNG powered ship. The main reason for having LNG on this ship is that there is a tax break for lowering NOX emissions. It got dual fuel engines so we have to carefully take note of when we are running on LNG and we are running on diesel only. The engines consume very little lube oil when running on LNG(have only refilled on engine with 50 liters in 4 weeks I've been here) and the machinery spaces are much cleaner than on a regular diesel ship?

I feel that this would be a perfect time to post the "FUUUUUUCK SHIIIIT DAAAAAMMN" gif with the lasers, but alas I do not have it. it wasn't really that bad the design of the ship sacrifices speed (7-9 knots "economical" speed) for crew comfort with the wheelhouse and crew quarters placed in the aft compared to traditional OSV's
