Basic information on all tasks on the ship:
When we’re not busy diving for oil on wrecks, ghost nets or other stuff that doesn’t belong in the sea, we sail our ship to the next spot. That means we spend most of our time sailing or diving. This results in the following requirements that you should meet if you are considering a future on board:
The mastheads are at a height of around 30 meters. Unlike sports sailing boats, where in the vast majority all sails can be controlled from the deck or even from the cockpit, we routinely require you to climb into the rig; and either way, the sun doesn’t always shine! Even, and sometimes especially, in a heavy weather, all the moves have to be right. This means that surefootedness and a head for heights are absolutely essential, as is a good “seaworthiness”. The good news is that resistance to vertigo and seasickness can be trained! But nothing works without a strong affinity for the ocean! Last but not least, you need to be a good team player, because at sea everything only works as a team – sometimes for many, many weeks. The reward for this is a great job, the likes of which are hard to find nowadays!
