>>1463663In my area of the industry (tugs), deckhands/ABs (entry level) usually earn in the 200s per day (can be more or less), engineers and mates 300s or 400s, and captains like 500. Ballpark.
Consider though that we don't earn money when we're not at sea, which can be like half the year. On the other hand, free food and few expenses when working.
When oil and gas was booming in the gulf people made way more.
