Hi Guys! I'm a graduate of BS Marine Transportation but never got the chance to use this course as my chosen profession. Ever since I was a kid, I always dream of sailing different seas around the globe and get to go to places I only see on television but unfortunately, due to many factors I have to consider, I decided not to pursue my dream. SIGH! I now work in the call center industry holding an administrative position hehehe! (Layo ano?!) Guys, consider yourselves lucky to be in the Maritime industry. Not only do you help achieve a better future for your family and loved one's, you're also a big contributor shaping our country's economy. Mabuhay kayong lahat!

[reniram]

Welcome Babnoy! Abt sa post mo, i think you should also be thankful having landed a stable job dyan sa atin, kasi while you can say that we're lucky to be working on our profession, you can also say na may mga disadvantages din naman ang trabaho dito.

Practical wise, marami talaga agree na hindi na bale malayo sila sa pamilya basta maibigay lang yung konting kaginhawaan ng buhay. Pero kung meron lang rin naman pagkakataon na makakuha ka ng decent job dyan sa atin, palagay ko mas marami pa rin ang pipili na mag-stay na lang dyan sa atin gaya ng case mo, so to say.

For one thing kasi esp kung may pamilya ka, ang laki ng time na naisa-sakripisyo sa relationship ng mag-asawa in terms of their time together. Mabuti na nga lang ngayon at medyo nakakatulong na kahit paano ng malaki ang development ng technology at may constant connection na karamihan ng mga ofw natin sa mga pamilya nila, atleast nababawasan yung boredom.

Sa part naman ng government, atleast maisip mo lang na nakakatulong mga ofw sa economy, masaya na tayo dun, ang nakakainis lang wla namang ginagawa gobyerno na masasabi mong tulong para sa mga marino, esp in terms of training na instead na i-minimize at ayon lang sa requirement ang ibigay sa mga marino, eh hindi, bagkus kung anu-anong pinapausong training na ipapakuha sa mga pilipinong marino tapos gagawing mandatory kahit na wala sa international standards. Haay, kelan pa kaya matututo mga taong nasa posisyon sa gobyerno na ang nasa isip eh kumita lang di bale ng marami maapektuhan.

Anyway, gud luck sa job mo at lalo pa sanang lumago mga call center dyan sa atin at maraming pinoy ang natutulungan nyan.

You're not alone Babnoy. I'm a BSMT graduate too but working in a manufacturing firm as a manager. Mas masarap ang buhay dito sa lupa. Maganda lang ang kita ($$$$$$) sa dagat.

Minsan, nakita ko ang isang classmate who is now a policeman. Hindi rin sya nakasakay.

welcome to tsikot...

[@rnold]

Location - On my 2nd week break
Company -CGGVeritas
Position - Source Tech. (Gun Mech.) 6weeks on 6weeks off.
Vessel - Viking2 Reseach Vessel
Rides - 2007 Black Fortuner AT DSL. / 1990 Mitsu. Galant


Sali ako dyan! SDrive galing din ako dati ng mga geco boat, Diamond,Bluefin at medyo nagtagal din ng Triton doon ako nabigyn ng break as a Gun Mech.hanggang nakaipon ng experience lumipat ako ng Wavefield hanggang sa mag apply ako online at natanggap namn sa awa ni LORD sa CGGVeritas fulltime employee na ako hindi tulad noon under ako ng agency, NFD.

[reniram]

ima2811 and *rnold - Welcome sa thread.

6wks on/off? Ganda naman ng system na yan, i believe with pay din yung off nyan?. Kelan kya mangyayari sa transportation side ng industry yan, lalo sa pinoy. Hopefully di na rin magtatagal, dahil marami at nasimulan na rin ganito sa mga FPSO.

[@rnold]

Tama ka skip me sahod kahit bakasyon.Hindi standby pay ang tawag kase fulltime employee kung ano ang sahod pag onboard ganon din pag break me offshrore bunos lang while onboard 25% on your per annual pay divided by 12 the result will be your per day onboard. once in a while me mga performance bunos at miret bunos din kaya para ka din tumama ng lotto. Anlayo ng tinatanggap ko ng under pa ako ng manning agency.

Sana marami pang mga marinong pinoy ang maka avail ng ganitong system kase in my experience ng nasa manning agency pa pag walang sakay dyieta ang pamilya minsan merong standby pay pero madalas 50% lang ng base pay mo at hindi permis so sira ang house hold budget.

Kaya marami sa pinoy seaman hirap pa rin ang buhay....pangalan lang maganda pero pag standby alam mo na...

Jackpot ka nga dyan sa napasukan mo kung ganun, at di lang yon, alam ko yang CGGveritas ay isa sa mga big name at very established na sa larangan ng seismic at matagal na rin sila sa industry na yan, ika nga eh, isa sa mga pioneering.

Sana dumami pa mga pinoy sa larangan na yan at malaking tulong talaga yan, lalo na dyan sa CGGveritas at regular staff pa pala kayo. Ano ba work ng gun mech?

[@rnold]

Medyo mahirap e-explain lalo na pag hindi pa nakakakita o nakakasakay ng mga seismic vessel, madalas pag nasa bakasyon ako natatanong ng ilang kabaro sa trabaho dahil nagttaka sila dahil madalas daw ako umuuwi o short term.

Everyones aware na more on computerized and advance sophisticated system and technology ang gamit ng mga seismic fleet like the used of US military some says identical To NaSA equipment.

But still has a lot of handfull things to do even the advance equipment been available to use. Marami kaming pinoy dito in defferent dept. All of us are direct hired infact kapalitan ko ang brother ko pagbaba nya ako naman ang papalit same department. Me and my brother ay marami ng naipasok sa kompanya by sharing our blessings from GOD above.

[lito62]

hello arnold dre,pasali naman sa usapan he.he parang gusto ko rin sanang maambunan ng blessing that you share from our god.pwede kaya dyan ang fitter/machinist?baka sakali lang, sinasakyan ko ay mga LNG ship.

[reniram]

Maganda talaga dyan sa seismic. About 6years ago, i happen to talk with one of my classmate before na involve din sa related industry na yan. Bale 2off sya DP operator, imagine choff na ako ng tanker tapos pareho lang kami ng sahod, then mas maganda pa terms nya dahil 3months on/off sya with pay din, more or less pareho siguro dyan sa inyo.

Muntik na rin sana ako makapasok ng seismic before sa dati kong company, kaya lang nag-alangan ako kasi wala pa akong exp at kailangan ko pa mag-training ng DP sa denmark b4 at wla pa rin ako nakikitang magandang break back then, after a while biglang nag-boom ang recruitment, haaaayyy, sayang din. Anyway, ok na rin naman ang system ngayon sa transportation esp sa tanker. Isa pa, if lumipat ako, baka wala pa rin ako sa position ko now, so no regret din.

Ok din naman ang siste sa mga pagpapasok ng tao dahil nga sa matindi shortage esp sa officer. So far so good din actually, after all it doesn't matter how much you earn, it's how you spend that matters.

More power sa mga marinong pinoy.

Tama ka sa phrase mo skip. But still you have an advantage kung medyo mataas kondi alam mo naman bumaba ng husto ang $.

Meron akong kasama but on other CGGVeritas veritas fleet 2nd0ff sya very young on his mid 30's He decided to shift to be a navigator marami kaseng exam,training upgrading etc. pag ipursue pa nyang mag off. 2nd off kase sya sa fleet nila at nakita nyang mas magandang makaipon pag naka pwesto sa seismic. magkasama kami sa training nearly a year now sabi nya hindi sya nagkamali ng pinili.

Imagine lalo na pag provincial hire ka kol namin door to door delivery kase magmula paglabas ng gate ng bahay papuntng domestic airport to mla. then hotel, transportation, meals etc. shoulder by company training courses offered fr time to time abroad are all free expenses.

Lito62 I wish marami akong matulungang kabaro pero iba kase ang line of work mo. Us have the axcess on recommending qualified personnel i hope you know what I mean ang maibigay ko lang is the website cggveritas and find your self a position that related to your credentials.

Agree *rnold, ang laki nga ng ibinaba ng $ now. Imagine, almost equivalent sa $2t/mnth nawala sa earnings ko due to exchange rate lang from 55+ to 45+ na lang now. Sa exp ko nga lang since i started sailing, eh halos pareho pa rin kc now na para bang ang hirap pa rin makaipon, kc malaki nga kita natin now pero lumalaki rin naman gastos, kaya nasabi ko yung qoutes ko above.

Abt naman sa siste ng employment, talagang maraming advantage sa direct compared to agency, but now, more and more agencies are starting to have an improved standard of employment, like continous compensation, but mostly applicable pa lang 'to sa mga senior officers and some sa mga juniors. Sa ratings lang ang problema pa sa ngayon dahil sa dami ng surplus sa pinas, but hopefully in the near future ay maging ayos na rin. Ang pinakamagandang improvement sa nakikita ko ay ang pag-aagawan ng mga tanker company sa mga officer esp seniors, dahil ang direct result ay walang tigil na pataasan naman ng offer sa salary. Tulad now, meron ng offer sa ibang company na 3month on/off with $6.5t continous plus free airfare to join onb sa wife and one child once a year. Di na masama.

Lito62, if exp fitter ka kamo sa LNG, maybe you might consider joining chemical tanker. PM mko if interested ka, i'll send you details. For now, just for your info, wages is around $1870 plus open OT with normal excess hours of 100+ hr rate of $4.9/hr. Rejoining and stby pay are std incentives.
