The Merchant Marine Express

Hi Folks!

I was just asked to go out on an oil tanker for a short “relief” job starting on Sunday! Would you believe- only three days after being assigned the job, I got work!
After weeks of looking for a sea-going job and registering out of the Union, A coordinator from Seabulk International called me asking if I would like a spot on the M/V SEABULK POWER.

I said “sure” as they only need me for only a month or so as a Third Mate.

I fly out on Sunday to Port Charles, Louisiana onboard this 660 ft. Product-tanker.

The tanker is capable of carrying 260,000 Barrels (42 gallons/barrel measured) of petroeum based liquids. The ship will be transiting the Gulf Of Mexico between places like Florida and Louisiana!

Also, this trip will secure ’sea time’ for my endorsement to work aboard tankers.

When I have time I will try and send out a Merchant Marine Express.
Hmm..what volume am I on? 5 ?

Here is a link to the tanker. If you need to do a search- type “tanker fleet” and/or choose ‘All types” when prompted. Look up SEABULK POWER when you get there!

Have a great day!!
