In case anyone was wondering, i've done some quick tax calcs on the salaries posted here, and I've worked out how much you would have to get paid by a job ashore to get that amount (I only did the ones in GBP):
36k on ship = ?50,381 ashore
30k on ship = ?40,395 ashore
96.5k on ship = ?162,500 ashore
280k on ship = ?545,000 ashore
25.5k on ship = ?33,800 ashore
If the master on the drillship was to pay tax on that, he would owe ?127,063.36 in tax and NI.

?280 KPA? For a drill ship?
I smell bull****...I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.....

It also raised my eyebrows. Most I have ever seen advertised for a Master was ?650 per day, DP2 vessel. Which worked out over 6 months working in the year, is ?117k.Comment

We pay approx. ?117,000 for an LNG Master based on a 7 month sea service...Originally posted by tlloyd1983 View PostI love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.....

I think that around the ?120k mark is the top end for a Master, on normal vessels. I think jack up barge Masters can get a bit more, but I am not sure what extra certs/courses you need to become a master on those things.Comment

I've heard that a 3rd ETO on a cruise ship is paid ~?27k based on 3 months on 6 weeks off which is equivalent to ?21k if worked as 3 months on 3 months off.Former TH cadet with experience of cruise ships, buoy tenders, research ships and oil tankersComment

I think ?21k is less than minimum wage? (OK, sure you aren't working for 6 months off it, but it's the principle)
21,000 / 365 = 57.53 per day.
Typical working day of 11 hours, so...
57.53 / 11 = ?5.23 per hour.
Congratulations, there are 16 year olds working in a McDonalds who outearn you
But hey, at least you've got the view.
