How Much I Made in One Week Working on a Tug Boat: Merchant Seamen Pay

Living on a Tug boat is in one of the coolest things I’ve done so far in my Merchant Seamen career. From working on cruise ships in Hawaii, to sailing around Korean and making stops in Japan. Working & living on a tug boat is completely different and cool in its own right.

I just applied for my twic. Graduated college in 2023 as a student athlete. It’s like I was getting turned down with every application(I thought having a degree would increase my chances of getting hired but nope lol) and was starting to get lost on what I want to do to bring in some good Income.
I’m excited for it tho and can’t wait to start applying.

I just left the SIU location in Mobile a couple days ago and the lady said something about needing dental exam before I can be accepted to the apprentice. I have two teeth that need to be pulled. Does dental records really stop you from joint their apprenticeship 🤔

[amandagraves]

[blowracks]

Do you get health and retirement through SIU? I've been a plumber for twenty years, so I would take a hit on pay at this point, but if I can pick up health and retirement, it would ease the pain. It's time for a change, and I'm considering becoming a mariner for the next twenty years if I like it.

Maybe for a younger guy starting out or if they pay radically goes up that is good pay, but it is only a little over 80k a year. Unless you work non-stop it's not that great of money. You're working more hours than a 40 hour week too, just hours allocated differently. Ten years ago I would have done it, but the time away just doesn't seem worth it. I do like the time off in big chunks though, that probably can be an interesting lifestyle.
