So glad I got the hell out of the oilfield and switched over to the USCG, Aviation Branch, HC-130 and HU-25, It was much more fun flying over the oil patch and being home at night with a steady paycheck and not rocking around on the waves. In the oil patch It was steak and weenies from year to year, from boom to bust. No thank you.
Right on man I’m an AB unlimited I’m thinking about getting my 100 ton master but I feel like there’s a lot of competition any advice brother? I also bleed orange
I live in canada, I'm a US citizen. I was working for the Coast guard as a cook on vessels with seven people and 45 people. I'm moving back to America. Can I get a job as a cook on a supply boat down there? Up here I have Marine emergency duties which is firefighting and getting in and out of lifeboats, and also advanced first aid. I've got all the cooking certificates needed I think. I lived in Hawaii 17 years, and Ohio for 10 years.
Hola como le hago para trabajar en esa compañía? Ya trabaje con una relacionada con ellos mexmar pero me gustaría trabajar en seacor marine como le hago!?? Soy de Mexico
What's that song, and who's that singing? Whoever wrote the song seems to really know the industry. Sounds like he's been on a hitch or two. Sort of a 'sixteen tons' for the oilfield.
Chad Cooke Band - Oil Man. Its a great song! Definitely a hint of the pain and struggles associated with the oilfield or any job that requires you to be away from family.
They run in and out for the most part. Some companies keep a crewboat handy to run crews about the field or the occasion were the rig isn't ready for the equipment you brought out and ask you to hang out.
@@richarda3989 I’m having deep doubts it’s the truth. About being home Every night. I do know for a fact, back 30 years ago when the majors didn’t look, find and drill so far out like they do now, I knew of many crew boats that was home nearly every 24 hours. But, these boats only hauled crews. Nothing else to speak of.
People never understand what I do for a living, they can't picture it really, even my family. This hit the mark
Haul twice the cargo at twice the speed with half the people and half the pay of a big boat. Loved every minute of it.

Tug boats are like riding in a car compared to a crew boat like this

How are the crew quarters for the crew of the boat?
Starting at 2:27 what are those vertical containers with the funnels on the bottom? I see similar in Railyard videos. Fuel?
Those are dry bulk tanks used for storing and transferring products such as barite and cement.
Which company is that one Richard? I wanna work on this kind of vessels!
This one is ECO. There are many companies that operate crewboats here in the gulf. Goodluck to you!

Right song music for oils rigs n hard hats
WhAt ECO boat was this?
Do crewboats normally stay offshore or run in and out regularly
They run in and out for the most part. Some companies keep a crewboat handy to run crews about the field or the occasion were the rig isn't ready for the equipment you brought out and ask you to hang out.
Why do they back up to the rig?
To put the boat deck under the rig crane. Makes life easier and keeps the boats bow and house out of the cranes work area.
A man just offered me a job on a crewboat.pays $175 a day and their home everyday.what else do they do that's not in this video????
Along with deck cargo and passengers you may also transfer fuel and water. Being home everyday is rare for this type of work and sounds nice.
