We arranged the categories
of maritime jobs as follows
:
Jobs on Large Cargo Ships
Jobs on Tugboats, OSVs,
& Pushboats
Jobs on Ferryboats
and Fast Ferries
Jobs on Government Vessels
Jobs on Cruise Ships
Jobs on Yachts
& Megayachts
Jobs in Commercial Fishing
Jobs in Shipyards

Many maritime jobs are posted. This includes jobs on ships, jobs on tugboats,
jobs on ferryboats and fast ferries. But some jobs are not posted because of the
nature of the vessel. Privately owned yachts don’t necessarily have a website the
way the Washington State Ferry system does. And privately owned crab boats that
work the Bering Sea out of Dutch Harbor, Alaska do not necessarily have their
own websites listing openings for “greenhorns’ or “full share crab fishermen”.
You can visit the website of the New York City Department of Transportation if you
wanted a job as an engineer aboard the Staten Island Ferry in New York. But what
if you wanted a job on a lobster boat out of Massachusetts or Maine?

Well, some maritime jobs will require a network, which is a fancy word for the
circle of people you know. If there’s a family run boat and you know someone who
knows someone else who is friends with the mate on a cod boat, it could help.
There are other types of networks also…those of maritime employment agencies.
Although we will tell you that you can find many maritime jobs for free, there are
some you will not find. We’re not contradicting what we said above. If you are
interested in finding a maritime job without spending a penny, you can do so here.
But it doesn’t hold true for every type of maritime job. Some maritime jobs will
require that you meet a maritime employment recruiter or crewing agency. That’s
the way it works in some sectors. If that’s the case, we can’t take the place of a
reputable recruiter. However, we offer plenty of stones to turn over and search
under in this site.

Good luck in your search!

What Happened To
The USS Thresher?
US Navy Photo
On April 10, 1963, the Permit
Class Submarine Thresher
(SSN-593) was lost with all hands
during deep diving tests some
200 plus miles east of Cape Cod,
Massachusetts. The ill-fated
submarine sits on the bottom of
the Atlantic Ocean in about 8,400
feet of water. The loss was
theorized to be due to a
thermodynamics phenomenon in
which the temperature of a vapor
being throttled through an opening
becomes lowered. It is believed
that compressed air was admitted
to blow sea water ballast from the
tanks. That part is routine.
However, it was speculated that
as compressed air expanded
while passing through the valves,
the reduction in temperature
caused moisture in the air stream
to freeze in the strainers, thus
incapacitating the ability to blow
ballast. Under this theory, the
passage for compressed air
would have been blocked by ice.
On subsequent submarines, this
led to the installation of air driers
on the discharge sides of air
compressors. If there is any
consolation to come from this
tragic catastrophe, it might be that
the lessons learned could serve to
prevent such an event from
happening again to other
members of silent services of the
world.

Engineers, scientists, technicians,
maintenance, field service people
who are interested the operation
and maintenance of compressors,
air driers and auxiliary equipment
could consider looking into job
opportunities at Ingersoll Rand,
one of the giants in this industry.
