Hello,

I'm new to this forum. It's a good forum indeed. Well, I'm almost a decade in sealife career. Currently onboard one of MISC LNG carrier anchoring outside Bintulu. There are about a bunch of big LNG carrier currently here. Although anchoring and not trading, we're still making money because of the 25 years contract.

Well, back to the topic, me myself almost reaching the peak of my career still find this life at sea very challenging and exhausting. With modern shipping nowadays, seafaring is not about travelling and go shore having fun anymore. Like Midnightjive said, the money is good but not great. But it depends on ur perspective. Even milionaire still try to get more money right? But if u start from scratch, at the the peak of ur career u will have almost everything. I speak based on experience. You can have ur sport car, a bungalow, a beautiful wife with high mantenance but still manage to keep few K's in the ASB. It depends on how greed u are. The more u earned, the more u want!

For those who are new to the industry, welcome! It's a long way to go but if u can survived it, it will rewarding. Frankly speaking, I also do not have a good SPM result. But I am glad I did choose this career as it is not as hard as u imagine. Truly speaking, thus far the hardest exam I took is SPM. If I choose to enter any of the uni, maybe I still jobless. Hehehehe.

I'm a marine engineer officer, not a deck officer. During my junior years, there are Brit's officer and engineer onboard. And they are the one that kept bashing each other between deck and engine side. Since they left, the relationship between all dept are very good. They also the one that make we, Malaysian think seafaring is a very hard job. Believe me, if I can do it, most of you can. Yeah, deck and engine officer got different job scope. Suffice to say, deck officer bear much more responsibility than engineers although the work is not as hard. But engineers got to socialised more due to 8 to 5 working hours. And engineer always work as a team while deck officer always alone on the bridge.

As for ship's, try to get into LNG fleet as this fleet is more secure than others. And it is also cleaner and safer. If you got the Bintulu - Far east route, you got to see Malaysia twice a month. And in Bintulu anchorage you still got 3G access. It's true, MISC ship don't have internet facility. For engine cadet to be, MISC only have 2 DFDE LNG career while the rest are steam powered vessels.

That's all for now. Good job for starting this thread. It is a good info although some is misinfo. All the best to you who just joined the industry.

amongst the alam cadets, there are some whose result is excellence...
ambition ?

i can tell u 99.99% is money minded, not ambition.

thing is female wont hv much encounters with their seniors, so much ease compared to male.

but when on board ship, ...hard to tell
