thanks you saikomatic..
btw, r u alam student too?? how is the lyfe there?

Think if i had a choice i would have paid for it myself. Regarding training wise, MISC is really good. They pay for everything, but then they own your sorry little ass for a long long time. However I broke my contract and left, now i'm in a legal jumble with them. But the money you earn elsewhere is good.

MISC will pay for everything, from your clothes to the food you eat. But the first few years you'll suffer. Not to mention sail and sail for a long long time. But the good thing is by the time you get back for your second round of studies, you'll be getting about 5 -7 k and they'll pay for your education for a year.

Then again if you continue in MISC, its not too bad. Easy life, easy work. Join other companies, they make you work until every penny you earn is worth it!

MISC -- Junior grads, 3rd officer to 2n officer... Start 3.5k - 7k a month.
Senior officer-- Chief Officer and Captains... Start 9k - 15k a month.
Don't be fooled by ppl qouting their salary to be more, cause they usually include leave pay. So basically thats what you earn monthly in a year.
You sail 6 months and 2 months holiday as a junior. Senior 4 months 3 month holidays.

Foreign companies
Depends how well you negotiate and what type of vessel you are from
(LNG pays the highest so far)
for instance Juniors get about 7k -9k (4 months work, 2 months holiday, year long salary)
Seniors 18 -24k (3 months work, 3 months holiday, year long salary)

And yes, you don't need to pay tax

Race isn't an issue. The problem is qualifications. Supply and demand in the industry.

If you're a Deck Cadet and want  quick money, Start researching how to get into the DP line, Dynamic Positioning. Hard life, but if you manage to get in. hmmmm lets just say in three year you'll be earning 200 - 700 us dollars a day. However most of this ships are very hard to get into and you might not get a chance to become a Captain. Some companies in malaysia that does DP, Sapuracrest, Offshore works and Petra perdana.

Take time to google like you're searching for a Job when you've graduated. Roughly you can figure out howmuch you are worth!
(i should have done this before i join, i'd know where to go and what to do !)

Some other options for you fresh school guys that are looking for good money in the offshore industry:
Remote Operation Vehicle (ROV) operator
Life support officer - these are the guys that mix the air for deep sea divers
Any jobs in the oil rig is extremely well paid.
Some ROV operator and LSO i've meet are paid about 40 - 50 k a month (with leave pay included )

Which means 20 -25k a month.

don't ask me how, google it , and research! lolz i'd never know where they got their training from.

The sea life is hard, but I live a comfortable life, i've two cars , two condos, i buy all the latest gadgets i want and crave for..
I go for really long holidays. And still my bank acount is always in the 5 digits.

Basically , everyone i know back in school, (minus the rich brats) I probably earn more then them. Not bad for someone who started off with nothing in his pockets.

Added on June 4, 2009, 1:03 pmMISC and AET are the same company. Just different Trading name.

PETRONAS OWNS MISC AND AET!

I work for Maersk 

Just for your info i never wanted to leave MISC, until they threaten me. I was onboard for 8 months ( c/o no shore leave) Imagine 8 months at sea, nvr touch land, and then after 1 week vacation they ask me to join the ship again. I refused. Second week, they tried again, threaten me on the phone. 3rd week they sent a letter, if i do not join the vessel, my salary will be stopped. (just remember, when you join MISC as a 3rd mate or junior engineer, they'll make you sign another contract, the terms and condition states , although you have leave days left, they can call you anytime, or else it'll be breach of services) Therefore, i went to the office the next day and tendered my resignation. Still they have the guts to threaten me, i'll be brought to court. When i didn't back down, they started offering more money, wanted to slow talk, etc. Its very hard to leave a company, first of all whether you have to guts or not.

I do not believe in a company that treats they staff inhumanly. Thats my opionion.

When i first started to apply to other companies, i realize how in demand we actually are. I've got offers from Teekay, Shell and MOL. However i choose Maersk cause i wanted to see how the largest shipping company in the world operates.

By the way, to all you junior officers, either you leave early or leave when you got your Master/ C/E licence. I got my Masters when i was 27. Now I'm taking a MBA programme in the UK end of this year. But whatever it is, leave with dignity. Pay your dues. Don't just run away.

MISC & AET, easy life but lower pay. Foreign company, plenty work but higher pay, less ppl. But better welfare and they treat you like a human being in other companies. (I've got broadband internet, satellite tv, free phone calls, etc... don't worry you won't see this in MISC/AET)

the problem with DP isn't the course, its whether a company will give you a training berth to do DP. Don't forget on these small specialize ships, there are about 100 ppl and compared to a usual vessel (20 -25 on foreign ships , 40 for MISC since they got so many ppl!). Every available cabin space on the ship is utilize for other personnel (diver, ROV, suryeyors, geologist etc) therefore to give you training is the last thing they want to do. They rather pay someone more from another company.

i din make it bigguy..haha..
but, m consired to join sma...maybe la..
i sent the application form already...
waiting for their call.........
How about u big guy??????

Added on June 11, 2009, 6:54 pmhey, any1 failed the medical checkup?? juz wondering
