>>1674950Sure, but you’d have to sail as OS, or as the union refers to it as a GVA.
Pay would be better than tugs/the gulf, but you wouldn’t be able to upgrade as fast.
Your best bet is to do what
>>1674963 says and get on a tug or osv and deal with the lower pay for a bit but suck up that sweet day and a half of sea time until you can get your AB/QMED, then pick up a job on an ocean going ship out of the hall
I wouldn’t waste time on inland towboats if your goal is ocean going ships personally since river time pigeon holes you a bit iirc
