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.

All posts here represent my own opinion and not that of my employer.

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 tankers

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 youBut hey, at least you've got the view.
