FREE ENTRY
LEVEL TRAINING HERE
Here is an
opportunity to get into the maritime industry for nothing but
some time and patience. This is an excellent
stepping stone toward a tugboat career.
The
short explanation is simple: You sign up, get
accepted, take a trip ($) to Baltimore where the school
picks you up. You go to the school, get uniforms ($), go
to class for a while, go to an internship at sea, come
back to school, pick your favorite department, train
some more, get your endorsement, and then go to a
vessel. From there, you can look at tug outfits
for further employment. The pay while at school is
"three hots and a cot." You're well taken care of.
Check it out here.
($) = Your
dime.
Here's a guide
to help you get started in the tugboat industry. The questions
are easy to navigate and will ask you the same things we would if
you called us up. You can first see if you'd like to try it
out and then you can choose a route to follow- inland or offshore.
