Long story short, I've been diagnosed with a stomach issue which means I need to have a fussy diet, something which I can't do on ship. I didn't have this problem when I started my cadetship. I am near the end of my cadetship; phase 5 deck. what shore based opportunities are there for someone with an OOW CoC?

Hi Kerchunk
Sorry to hear that - a few ideas... VTS, coastguard, shipping agent, day ferry jobs, day tug jobs, junior cargo surveyor, Pilot boat crew etc
Best places to look - recruitment agencies under "shore based", local ports websites, local shippers websites etcPilotage - It's just a controlled allision -
Grangemouth are looking for a VTS operatorComment

Also I believe some ferry operators in the uk are walk on/off positions which may be suitable.
The North of England P&I club occasionally take freshly qualified cadets, they interviewed at South Shields when my batch were qualifying.Comment

Thanks for the info! How does one become a cargo surveyor? I assume extra training is needed?Originally posted by Pilot Chris View PostComment

Often it's on the job training under an experienced surveyor, most of the time they like you to have mates / masters due for the legal and stability aspects but some positions do occasionally come up for OOW level.Originally posted by kerchunk View Post
if you like the Sea aspect of the job (and depending on where you live) I would try and look at day ferry jobs etc as it keeps all your skills ticking over and still allows you to progress (although you may have area and tonnage limitations on your ticket.
Depending on how you feel try and make your required diet fit around what you want to do, a couple of my mates got medical issues pop up after they qualified and they still go to sea (albeit on short sea routes).Pilotage - It's just a controlled allisionComment

Think what? that they aren't as bad as others or that their training officers haven't been to sea?Originally posted by GuinnessMan View PostComment

Because I trained with them as a cadet for 4 years. What makes you think differently...Originally posted by GuinnessMan View PostComment

Because there is no proof to the contrary other than what you're saying, whereas Clyde openly give the background of their TO's.Originally posted by gadget123 View PostI love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.....
