Well. Good luck. I just letting you know the reality and life style from a guy that experienced it. If you are single guy, go for it. If married, better have a very understanding wife and kids.

There are alot of rules at SG shipyard. More than what get from the public road rules X 3 times. Be prepared to obey their rules, break it once and your fired or banned from that shipyard for 2 years for minor offence. Major go prison.

Work starts very early for some shipyard. Sometimes 6 to 7 am VSCC meeting. Work ends probably 6 to 7 pm, sometimes midnight. Depends on the ship/rig schedule.

Paper work is one of the worst thing you will experience but is needed for safety and ass covering. If i am not mistaken you get only get 2 safety overall suites for the year in some shipyard.

Do your SSSC and remember the rules of checking equipment usage validation and always look above and behind you. Stay there long enough you will grow a pair of eyes behind your head for life.

OnG industry is pretty much the same no matter what country when it comes to safety.
Try going up high places without a harness, lol. I knew someone got banned for 2 years at Keppel.
Other one got banned 2 years for insulting the security officer at Sembawang. lol.

Tax is lower at SG if i am not mistaken. But is a strategy to encourage business and people to work here.

Is a rare sight to see a women go shipyard to work at the field. Good to see more women joining the force. I remember at SG shipyard when you see a women at shipyard VSCC meeting, it will light up the day. Really. So rare I seen women CO, CE and Super.

Yes geoservice is part of SLB company. In term of pay scale it depends on what they do. Those kuli very poor thing. They dont get paid for thier time off rotation. Dont know about thier other staff pay scale.

Food wise is pretty good. Get to eat steak, salmon and ice cream.

They are the first that do exploration doing the siesmic with a support vessel pulling multiple sensors and air pressured gun to generate signal. If i am not mistaken they also do the refinement of singnal processing for the logs.

The wonders of the internet. I heard 80 old man still can do it, so is never good to give up. Even shoot dust better do it just for glory and ego.

As a matter of fact that is the company that does that. I remember boarding western spirit vessel. Pretty nice food but the fight between the indian CE and French tradie wasnt the best conversation i experienced. Stood there 30 min with akward silience.
