**maxpwr48** · July 20th, 2011, 03:36 PM

Would anyone be so kind and give any details they may know about Donjon Marine co. They are located the closest to me so I may want to look into them first from my first job on the sea. rotation schedule? good company to work for? paid training for advancement? pay for ordinary seaman? any and all info given would be greatly appreciated.
thank you

270 a day sounds high for an OS. I know AB that are making 270-280 a day.

It's not unheard of. In '09, on the ATBs I was sailing, the DEUs base pay was $279. If they held an AB or QMED rate, it was $307.

Not exactly. It's high because its nearby New York harbor and the associated 333 wages. Ask the guys who work in the GOM 'dredge unions' how high their wages are.
I'll have to dig up a contract to get other rates for comparison.

Well that's good money!!
In the Gulf the highest paid AB's are making 345$-385$. I believe that's with GOL.

I worked on a dredge tug for over a year and made that wage all over the southeast
