They are a good company to work with. They have a rotation I think of 75 days on 55 days off with pay. I recently worked with Chevron Shipping, but I am not needed due to them scrapping a couple of ships. I am out of work, so I just reapplied with Conoco. We will wait and see how it goes. They mostly want tanker and crude oil experience.
